We Get it
Running a freelance business is a lot.
You got into this to do creative work and be your own boss, not to manage a dozen different apps and worry about where your data lives.
Too many tools, too much friction
One app for invoices. Another for booking meetings. A different one for projects and tasks. And somehow you're still managing your income and tax estimating in a spreadsheet. Every new tool means another login, another monthly bill, another thing to check.
Your Business Data Isn't Really Yours
With cloud-only platforms, your client history, project records, and financial data live on someone else's server. If they raise prices, change features, or shut down—your business is along for the ride.
We built this for YOU
Because we're freelancers too.
Freelance Studio was born out of our own frustration. We're designers and developers who got tired of paying for freelance business tools that didn't quite work the way creative projects actually flow.
This isn't another generic "small business" tool. It's built specifically for people who do creative work for clients — designers, developers, photographers, copywriters, consultants. People who think in projects, not products.

FAQ
Questions? We've got answers.
Do I need any coding skills?
Not at all. Freelance Studio installs like any WordPress plugin and works out of the box. If you can manage a WordPress site, you can use Freelance Studio.
Can my clients pay invoices online?
Currently, Freelance Studio allows you to include custom payment instructions right on your invoices. We plan to integrate Stripe and PayPal payment buttons soon.
What happens if I cancel?
Your data stays on your server — it's yours. You will just be downgraded to our limited free version (1 client, 2 project, 2 invoices/month) until you resubscribe.
Is there a mobile app?
Freelance Studio is fully responsive, so it works beautifully on mobile browsers. Just bookmark your dashboard on your phone home screen for quick access.
