The Freelancer OS forWeb Developers
Contracts scoped for web development projects. Invoices with milestone billing. Tax estimates that actually make sense.
Common Startup Problems
Becoming self-employed should be filled with excitement, and not a mad scramble for contract and invoice templates, or worrying about tax or how to look professional.
Scope creep kills your margin
"Can we just add this one feature?" Without a signed contract covering change requests, every scope addition eats directly into your rate. Web developers are especially exposed — changes feel small until they add up.
Chasing invoices instead of shipping
You'd rather be coding than sending payment reminders. But without automated follow-up, unpaid invoices just pile up. Late payments are the number one cash flow killer for freelance web developers.
Tax catches you off guard
Contract rates look great until you realise how much of that income belongs to HMRC. Without a running estimate, most web developers either underset aside or get a nasty surprise in January.

Invoicing
Milestone billing that matches how you actually work
Bill by milestone, not just on completion. Each invoice has a Stripe payment link and automated reminders — so you get paid at each stage without the admin.
