You’ve probably known for years that you should be protecting yourself and your company with legally binding documents and contracts, but the time, effort (and cost) to send a document using a third party service (or god forbid the old paper contract method) has been far too much.
It’s a no brainer for anyone who has to sign contracts and has a WordPress website. This one decision saves business owners hundreds of hours every year (and an average of $635 dollars per year).
