Launching Portfolios by Contra was like a dream come true! But we didn't stop there. Our goal of making it easy to create the portfolio of your dreams still stands. As someone who started out as a freelancer, I know how important it is to launch a portfolio quickly to get the business running. But sometimes it can take FOREVER. And that's not how it’s supposed to be. Creating and launching your portfolio doesn't have to take months. That's why we created AI Portfolios! Our AI-powered tools are here to help you customize your portfolio and make sure clients can find you easily. And with our commission-free payments, job-matching network, and a global community, you can grow your business all in one place. I want to give a huge shoutout to the whole Contra team and our supportive global community. Everyone was hard at work to make this possible, and here we are now. We cannot wait to build more tools and make things happen for all the freelancers out there. The best is yet to come. 🚀

Surprise, surprise! At Contra, we’re forever fueled by a singular mission: to streamline the lives of freelancers around the globe. We all recognize that AI isn't just a fleeting trend—it's a revolution. And as we carve our space in this changing landscape, it felt only right to harness the power of AI and blend it seamlessly with our platform. Imagine a world where creative blocks are a thing of the past, and hours spent curating a portfolio don’t steal away from your true calling. With Contra's AI-powered features, your passion projects shine effortlessly, mirroring the dedication you pour into everything you do. We've always believed in an iterative approach to improvement. And the cherry on the top? Many of the upgrades you’ll see today were inspired directly by you—our invaluable community. At Contra, our users aren’t just an audience; you're our co-creators. We listen, we innovate, and together, we redefine the future of freelancing and the economy as a whole. As I reflect on this amazing launch, my spirit soars with joy. Every new feature, every tweak, and every enhancement has been a labor of love, born from our unwavering commitment to empower freelancers everywhere. Yet, as thrilling as this launch is, remember: this is just the dawn of a new era at Contra. In the grand scheme of things, believe me when I say - We are just getting started!

future freelance platform. I joined 1 month ago, and the community was cool! (cool I mean, they care about both client and freelance value)

The mention of commission-free payments is a significant benefit for freelancers, as it allows them to keep more of their earnings. This shows that Contra is focused on supporting the financial success of freelancers. Congrats on the launch team, praying for Contra to grow even higher highs

Great use of ai once again by Contra!

Congrats on the launch, team! Love your consistent design and branding. One of those rare brands that nail branding every single time!

I just tried out the one-line prompt, it's a game-changer for designers! I love how easy it is to add project content now only with a link, saves so much time!! Great launch!

The promo video was incredibly done! What a great initiative, I hope many benefit from! :)

what benefits does contra give freelancers at all? I tried the platform and there was 0 reason to stay on it.

Being in the video production scene for SaaS, I truly understand the value of a standout portfolio. Your initiative sounds like a game-changer for freelancers wanting to get rolling quickly. And no commissions? That's icing on the cake! 🍰 Imagine combining top-notch portfolios with captivating videos to showcase work. Dream team, right? If ever Contra or your community needs a hand with video content, you know where to find me.

Congrats on the launch!

Wow! So many people can never find the time to make a portfolio but this definitely makes things easier! How do you plan to expand Portfolio Magic's features in the coming months?

Huge congratulations team! It's looking really incredible. Great time for designers around the world ✨ Can't wait to jump in and launch 🚀

Congrats Contra team for the new launch! How does it feel to develop such an amazing platform we've all been waiting for, for like years? I'm a freelancer for 10y now and I've been waiting a lot for such a platform, to have the opportunity of a great portfolio and flawless proposals and contract, and now supercharged with the power of AI, you guys are the best! But I have to say it here and again, the most amazing "ingredient" you have in your craft is your stellar customer services, and I cannot love more a company that really cares about the customers at any time. I love all your emails and all the interactions with you! Looking forward to all the goodies you're preparing and thank you for listening to us, the hustling independents. Keep on blooming! 🌟

I love your demo video a lot! Very stylish and persuasive! Did you use any external team for that? Thank you!!

I think the design is very good. Simple and unobtrusive. Would love to see a competitor slide, with key differences etc.

At Contra, it is always our goal to build features that enable Independents to launch and grow their business, independently. We consistently hear complaints about the time & investment it takes to build a high quality portfolio that converts clients. That's what drove us to launch Portfolio Magic, a portfolio that's AI-generated and backed by the business tools & commission-free payments that Contra offers. Not only does this solve the 'getting started' problem, but it also enables you to spin up a beautiful portfolio website (with templates & themes designed by our world-class designers) and share it with your community and clients. And then, you can leverage analytics and business tools to grow your business. We are building for the community, so we'd love to hear your feedback and what you'd like to see next. The best is yet to come! 🚀
