Free client intake form for freelancers in Nairobi

A freelancer in Nairobi needs a client intake form that asks the right questions, shows prices in KES, uses +254 phone numbers and fits the Data Protection Act 2019. CalendarForm gives you that form free for 250 submissions a month, joined to a booking page that shows times in Africa/Nairobi (UTC+3 all year, no daylight saving).

What to put on a client intake form in Nairobi

  1. Full name
  2. Email
  3. Company and website
  4. What do you need done?
  5. Deadline
  6. Budget range
  7. Phone: mobile like +254 712 345678 or a Nairobi landline like +254 20 xxx xxxx

What freelancers usually let customers book

For freelancers in Nairobi, 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 Data Protection Act 2019 means for this form

Nationally, the Data Protection Act 2019 is Kenya's data law: tell people why you collect their details and get consent.

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 Nairobi

Nairobi has no daylight saving, so your timetable never shifts against UTC: UTC+3 every day of the year.

Customers booking from abroad still see the time in Africa/Nairobi, 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 Africa/Nairobi and add your opening hours.
  3. Edit the questions above, add the the Data Protection Act 2019 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 Nairobi?
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 KES.
Does the form follow the Data Protection Act 2019?
The form collects only the questions you add and shows your consent line. Following the Data Protection Act 2019 is still your job: ask only what you need, say why, and link your privacy notice.
Can I write the form in English?
Yes. Questions, options and the thank-you message are free text, so you can write them in English and Swahili.
