Digital Contracts: Sign Deals Faster, With Complete Confidence

The Familiar Problem: The Slow, Unsecure Paper Trail

The client has verbally agreed to the project, but now comes the administrative friction. You're digging through folders to find the right contract template, editing it in a word processor, saving it as a PDF, and emailing it as an attachment. Then the waiting begins. The client has to print it, sign it, scan it, and email it back. Sometimes they're traveling, or they don't have a scanner, and the process drags on for days, leaving your project in limbo.

This old-fashioned process isn't just slow; it's insecure. Contracts get lost in spam folders, sensitive information is sent over unencrypted email, and there's no easy way to track whether the contract has even been opened. This administrative bottleneck delays project start times and presents an unprofessional image before the creative work has even begun.

Hitbook's Solution: Secure, Professional, and Instant Agreements

This is why we built Digital Contracts directly into the Hitbook ecosystem. Our goal was to eliminate the friction entirely, allowing you to create, send, and get legally binding signatures in minutes, not days. It's a seamless workflow that protects your business and impresses your clients from the very first interaction. Here's how it streamlines your entire process:

1. Flexible Contract Creation: Templates or From Scratch

Never start from a blank page again. Hitbook comes loaded with professionally vetted contract templates for common creative jobs, which you can use as a starting point. Even better, you can create your own contracts from scratch using our intuitive editor and then save them as custom templates. If you offer different service packages, you can have a unique, ready-to-go contract for each one. Simply select a template, fill in the client's details, and your professional contract is ready in seconds.

2. Seamless Delivery and E-Signature

Once your contract is ready, sending it is simple and secure. With one click, the contract is sent to your client via both email and a direct SMS message, ensuring they receive it instantly, wherever they are. The client can open, review, and sign the document on any device—desktop, tablet, or phone—with a legally binding electronic signature. No printing, no scanning, no hassle.

3. Automatic Finalization and Secure Storage

The moment your client signs, the magic happens automatically. A finalized, signed copy of the contract is immediately sent to both parties via email, creating a perfect record for everyone. Simultaneously, the signed document is securely filed away in the client's dedicated folder within your Hitbook account. You never have to search for a signed contract again; it's always exactly where it needs to be, attached to the relevant client and project.

4. The Foundation of Your Project

A signed contract in Hitbook isn't just a document; it's the official starting point of your project's financial and logistical record. The payment schedule outlined in the contract automatically populates your Payments tracker. The project scope informs your Project Management tasks. By starting with a secure, digital agreement, you build a solid, undisputed foundation for everything that follows, ensuring clarity and professionalism from kickoff to final delivery.
