Introducing new NDA project and Urgent project options.

We've just introduced two new options for posting your project - NDA and Urgent
Projects!

By selecting to post an NDA project, Freelancers will be required to digitally
sign a Non-disclosure agreement before placing a bid on your project. The
agreement ensures project details discussed in private messages or files, are
to be kept confidential.

Urgent projects are great if you require a Freelancer to start your project
right away. Find the right freelancer for your project within 24 hours!

Post your NDA or Urgent project now!

Customize invoices by uploading your own logo.

How are employers supposed to know who your invoice is from? They could refer
to your username, but wouldn't you rather have your beautiful logo right on the
page?

Of course you would!

Here's a quick guide to adding your logo on your next invoice:

1. Visit your Financial Dashboard: https://www.freelancer.com.au/users/financial-dash/
2. Select 'Invoices', then select 'Create an Invoice'
3. Select your project and click to 'Upload your logo' from the 'Create
Invoice' form.
4. Provide the image of your logo.
5. Send your invoice!

Your logo will now be displayed on all the invoices you create.

Try it out today!
