If you're working with clients, you NEED to be using a contract! Contracts are important for many reasons. They help you get paid on time, they show you're a professional, and they cover all the fine details about the process of working with a client. This video covers what a contract is, why you should use one, and how to use a freelance design contract the easiest way.

I know legal documents can be scary, but I hope this video helps make the process of putting one in place easy for you!
