Create Project

Projects are where you manage deliverables, milestones, and payments for client work.

Creating a project

  1. Click Projects in the sidebar
  2. Click Create Project
  3. Fill in the project details
  4. Define milestones and deliverables
  5. 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.
