Gantt Chart
for Freelancers

Managing multiple projects with overlapping timelines is where freelancers and small agencies most often drop the ball. Builtomate's Gantt Chart gives you a visual timeline of every task and milestone — so you can spot conflicts, communicate timelines to clients, and stay on schedule even when projects run in parallel.

The Problem

Sound familiar?

Most freelancers deal with these frustrations every week. Gantt Chart in Builtomate fixes all three.

Juggling multiple projects simultaneously with no visual overview — accidentally double-booking the same week for two clients

Clients asking "where are we in the project?" and you having to reconstruct a timeline on the spot from scattered notes

No way to spot which phases are blocking progress until the missed deadline is already causing a problem

Getting Started

Tips for getting the most out of Gantt Chart

Practical advice from freelancers who use Builtomate every day.

1

Before starting any new project, set start and end dates on all major task groups. This takes 10 minutes and gives you an instant Gantt timeline — no extra work needed.

2

Open the multi-project Gantt view at the start of each week for a capacity check. If two large projects overlap heavily, you'll know to set expectations with clients before they're disappointed.

3

Share the read-only Gantt with clients in your weekly update email instead of writing out a status paragraph. One screenshot of the timeline tells the story better than 3 paragraphs of text.

4

When a task slips, drag it forward on the Gantt immediately. Keeping the timeline accurate (even when it's bad news) is more professional than a Gantt that became fictional in week 2.

5

Use color-coded projects in the multi-project view. Different colors for different clients makes the timeline scannable — you can see workload by client at a glance.
