How do I create a front page in Cleardox?

Depending on the work you are doing in Cleardox, sometimes it might be necessary for you to create a front page for your binder. That is possible on our platform, and you can learn how to do it here.

 

How to Create a Front Page

  1. Go to Legal Binder.

  2. Open the menu on the left and choose Documents in project.

  3. Click on Add, then select Page.

  4. A blank page will be created that you can edit. You can add text directly on the page - like title, date, case name.

  5. You can also edit the header and footer with relevant details - e.g. company logo, case number, page number, contact info.

What a Front Page Can Include

  • Project/case name

  • Client and opposing party names

  • Date and version (if relevant)

  • Company logo

  • Short description of the project or case

  • Contact information

Why a Front Page Is Useful

  • First impression: A neat front page makes your document look professional at first glance.

  • Identification: Clearly shows who the sender is and what the document is about.

  • Organization: Helps both the recipient and yourself understand which case or project the binder pertains to.

  • Reusability: Once you’ve designed a front page layout, you can reuse it in other projects by saving it as a template.

Tips for a Professional Front Page

  • Use clear, consistent fonts.

  • Choose a layout that matches your other documents for cohesive branding.

  • Ensure the logo is high resolution and well placed — centered or aligned properly.

  • Consider including page numbers, especially if the front page counts in the overall PDF pagination.

 

Note: When you use the front page feature in Cleardox, the page acts like any other page in the binder — it is included in the page count, and edits are saved automatically.

Conclusion

Creating a front page in Cleardox is simple, but it makes a big difference. A well-designed front page gives a professional look, makes the document easier to identify, and enhances structure. Use it thoughtfully - not just for presentation, but as a tool throughout the lifecycle of your case.
