Cliux for freelancers

Build it, share the draft, get paid, hand it over.

One editor for every kind of client site, a comment-only link for sign-off, a proposal and an invoice the client acts on from their inbox, and a login that opens only their site when you are done.

Hand-over

Client sites under your account, each with the client's own login.

The agency Starter plan publishes 2 client sites free, with 2 seats. Invite the client as a site user and they see their site's console and editor, nothing else; a client login takes one of the seats. When the work outgrows that, Agency is $49 a month for 15 client sites and 10 seats; Scale is $99 a month with no cap on client sites or seats.

  • Invite as a site user

    Pick which client sites the person can open; the roster shows it beside their role.

  • Roles you define

    Permission sets for what a teammate may touch, from projects to billing.

  • Their domain, your console

    The site publishes on the client's own domain; the console stays with you.

The agency team roster: three people with the sites each can reach, their access and their role, with sample data

Getting paid

A proposal they accept from a link, an invoice they pay by card.

Write the proposal once and send the link; the client accepts, signs the contract by typing their name, and pays the invoice by card into your own Stripe account. Cliux adds no fee, and a retainer reissues itself as a draft on the schedule you set.

  • Proposal and contract templates

    Scope and terms written once, reused per client.

  • Paid into your Stripe account

    Card payment on the invoice page, no platform cut.

  • Retainers as recurring drafts

    Each one waits for you to review and send.

The agency proposals screen: proposals by status with their values and clients, with sample data

Finding work

A listing on the hire market, where site owners already are.

Publish what you offer with a price and a delivery time. Site owners on the platform send a request with a budget and a deadline, you talk it through in a thread, and when you accept they grant you time-boxed access to their site at the role you agree. The fee is settled between you.

  • Listings with views and orders

    Published, paused or draft, with the conversion beside each.

  • A thread per request

    Budget, deadline and urgency up front; the rest in messages.

  • Time-boxed site access

    Editor, designer, admin or viewer, with a start and an end date.

The hire market screen: four service listings with status, price, delivery time, views and orders, with sample data

Starting points

Three portfolio starters, rendered live.

Real pages from the same renderer that publishes yours, scaled down, not thumbnails. Pick one in the first minute and change everything about it after.
