Free client intake form for freelancers in Dubai

A freelancer in Dubai needs a client intake form that asks the right questions, shows prices in AED, uses +971 phone numbers and fits the Personal Data Protection Law (Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021). CalendarForm gives you that form free for 250 submissions a month, joined to a booking page that shows times in Asia/Dubai (UTC+4 all year, no daylight saving).

What to put on a client intake form in Dubai

  1. Full name
  2. Email
  3. Company and website
  4. What do you need done?
  5. Deadline
  6. Budget range
  7. Phone: mobile like +971 50 123 4567 or a Dubai landline like +971 4 xxx xxxx
  8. Preferred language (Arabic, English, Hindi and Urdu)
  9. Consent: "I agree to the freelancer using these details for my booking, as set out in the privacy notice (the Personal Data Protection Law (Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021))"

Show the price as text on the booking page, for example "AED 150 for a project kick-off call, pay by card and Apple Pay". CalendarForm does not take payment itself, so customers pay you the way they already do in the UAE.

What freelancers usually let customers book

For freelancers in Dubai, CalendarForm gives a freelancer one page with a booking link for calls and a project brief form, so new clients book a time and tell you what they need in one step. Most freelancers stay inside the free tier.

Put the booking link in your email signature.

Use a project brief form before every kickoff.

Set minimum notice so you are never booked same-day by surprise.

Privacy: what the Personal Data Protection Law (Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021) means for this form

Nationally, the Personal Data Protection Law (Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021) is the UAE federal data law: get consent and use details only for the booking you said they are for.

CalendarForm keeps each business's answers separate, lets you export them to CSV, and does not use them for anything else. Link your own privacy notice in the form's description.

Booking times in Dubai

Dubai has no daylight saving, so your timetable never shifts against UTC: UTC+4 every day of the year.

Customers booking from abroad still see the time in Asia/Dubai, with the zone printed next to it, and their confirmation email repeats it.

Set it up in four steps

  1. Sign up free, pick the closest business type, and rename the starter form to "Client intake form".
  2. Set the time zone to Asia/Dubai and add your opening hours.
  3. Edit the questions above, add the the Personal Data Protection Law (Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021) consent line, and attach the form to your booking page.
  4. Share your link. Each booking sends an email confirmation with a cancel link, and a reminder 24 hours before.

Questions

Is it really free?
Yes, up to 250 form submissions and 100 bookings a month. Most solo freelancers never pass that.
Can I use my own domain?
Not yet. Your page lives at calendarform.bobwork.ai/your-name.
Is a free client intake form enough for freelancers in Dubai?
For most small freelancers, yes. You get 250 form submissions and 100 bookings free every month; after that, $5 buys 2,000 more submissions or 500 bookings, and packs never expire. Prices on your page can be in AED.
Does the form follow the Personal Data Protection Law (Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021)?
The form collects only the questions you add and shows your consent line. Following the Personal Data Protection Law (Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021) is still your job: ask only what you need, say why, and link your privacy notice.
Can I write the form in Arabic?
Yes. Questions, options and the thank-you message are free text, so you can write them in Arabic and English.
