Projects are where you manage deliverables, milestones, and payments for client work.
Creating a project
- Click Projects in the sidebar
- Click Create Project
- Fill in the project details
- Define milestones and deliverables
- Set up escrow (optional)
Project details
- Project Name — A clear, descriptive name
- Client — Select the client this project is for
- Budget — Total project budget
- Timeline — Start and end dates
- Description — Brief project scope
Business Tip: Write a clear project scope upfront. This prevents misunderstandings and scope creep later.
Milestones
Break your project into milestones:
- Each milestone has a deliverable, due date, and amount
- Milestones track progress and trigger payments
- Clients approve milestones before funds are released
Files and collaboration
- Upload files directly to the project
- Share files with clients through the portal
- Track all activity in the feed
Business Tip: Use project templates for recurring work. This saves time and ensures consistency.
