digital signatures vs traditional signatures

Sending contracts for e-signing via email or link is one of the fastest ways to close agreements without printing, scanning, or chasing paperwork. Instead of attachments and long email threads, a digital signing flow lets recipients open, review, and sign the contract directly online.

With the right e-signature platform, the process is simple, secure, and easy for both you and the signer.

Why Sending Contracts Online Works Better

When you send contracts for e-signing, you:

  • Eliminate manual steps and delays

  • Ensure everyone signs the correct document version

  • Make signing easier for clients and partners

  • Track who has signed and who hasn’t

  • Speed up approvals and project start times

This is especially useful for freelancers, agencies, HR teams, and businesses working remotely.
