I've always done contracting without a resume at all, with just a few example projects, a list of services offered, and some testimonials. I've never had a client ask for a resume, they often aren't experts in the field, they appreciate being spared technical details/jargon, and just want to know that you can take care of their problem within their budget. It's very different compared to being interviewed and hired as an employee. Maybe depends on what kind of clients you're looking for but not having to worry about a resume is great.
