@kuizinas Wouldn't want to do this with anyone else! The best is yet to come π₯
@kuizinas super grateful for you Gajus! we still have some building left to do π
@kuizinas you're spot on - the puzzle fitting together for the future of Independent work π and we're just getting started!
@kuizinas thank you. I spent countless hours and money on other freelancing sites. Just to be undercut, have spammy leads, and frankly get no where. The transparency on contra is how these sites should be and enable everyone to work how they like! Thank you! Iβm excited to see where you all go!
Wow hunters! Congrats on the launch of your startup on the Product Hunt! π₯ I should try it. I just wanna clarify one thing. What do you think makes it unique?
@asaskevich thank you so much! we are STOKED! I would say what makes us unique is that we don't take commission from payments on the platform! and we build a beautiful portfolio website from your case studies in one click!
let me know if you end up trying it π₯
@asaskevich Agreed with Madi^! Another thing to add is that we allow you to get paid directly from your Portfolio without any fees!
I can definitely see freelancers using this a lot, especially because of the commission-free payments. I'm curious, what inspired you to create a portfolio website? Huge congrats on the launch!
@heleana Commission-free payments are definitely a great perk!! Our team was inspired by our amazing community of freelancers. β¨ Our community has always been able to showcase their work on Contra but we wanted to take it to the next level and transform their Contra profiles into a stunning Portfolio with the touch of a button! π We know how important building a personal brand can be for freelancers and we wanted to build something to support that!! Thank you for the love π
congrats on the launch! just sign up the waiting list guys.

The landing page is amazing! I love the vibe that it's giving, really convincing to trust your brand. What would you say is the feature that makes your product stands out from the competition?
@alternative_potato thank you π I'd say at the moment it is commission-free payments, the ability to manage your freelance business end to end (invoices, contracts, payments etc.) and a custom portfolio in a click of a button that makes us stand out from the competition but there is SO much more coming π
Hello, and congratulations on the launch!π₯³ Love your idea, your core message, and your product! Slay, guys and gals!π
If you're a freelancer, it's important to have a strong personal brand. You can use a portfolio website to showcase your work and attract new clients. Plus, with commission-free payment tools, you can get paid directly from your
@bilal_niaz 100% aligned! Having a personal brand takes everything to the next level π
@bilal_niaz 100% agree!! A personal brand is so so important and really makes a difference when it comes to securing Clients! Love love love that you are using our commission-free payment tools π€©
Congratulations on the launch! Commission-free payments seem too good to be true. :) Are you just integrating with Stripe, PayPal, Gumroad, etc.?
@travisdailey Commission-free payments are our jam!! π€ We have integrated with Stripe and we are always expanding our integrations so be on the look out π
@jerry_xbc So glad that we could build a set of templates that you love!! And even better they are customizable π€©
Congrats on the launch! π I'm so excited to have access to such an amazing tool. I'll be sure to recommend it to every freelancer and creative I know. π€© You guys have done such an incredible job of creating a platform to help people make their dreams come true. π« I'm sure the best is yet to come. Keep up the great work! π
@mycelebs_elle can't wait to see what portfolio template you choose! It is going to be awesome!
That's amazing! Having worked with a lot of creatives, I can tell how important (and hard!) it is to show their work in an appealing way, so they can feel proud about it. Great opportunity and execution!
@steevep we appreciate it!! Let us know what your friends think of Contra π
Showing your portfolio to the world is one of the easiest ways to show a client or employer value, yet no one does it. Itβs great that youβre lowering the bar to make it easier for people ti show the world what theyβve built, designed, or contributed to. Awesome work!
@cjries thank you Christopher! we agree, a portfolio is the first thing most clients ask for. would love to see your portfolio if you try it out!
Extremely excited and proud to be launching Portfolios by Contra. As always, we designed with Independents in mind, and are now offering a seamless portfolio website experience that is auto-connected to inquiries, contracts, project management, and commission-free payments. This makes it easier than ever for Independents to focus on their work, while we take care of the rest.
I was fortunate enough to be a part of the initial dedicated team who started working on this last year. We designed the first test template and conducted hours of user testing and gathered our communityβs feedback to ensure this feature lived up to our Independentsβ needs.
This feature is perfect for those who donβt have time (or honestly donβt want) to work on creating a portfolio. Our brand design team has spent countless hours to create killer, vibey as hell templates that knock blocky Squarespace sites out of the water.
I couldβve only dreamed of having a tool this powerful when I was an Independent and am honored to be a part of the Contra team that is launching it to you! π
Check out my portfolio here: https://alexandrabrown.me/ π
@alxndrabrown so glad to get to build Contra with you π and look at that portfolio!! π
Congratulations on the launch. Love the ideas but wonder if that works for designers. I would prefer to develop website portfolio myself or share works on Behance. Anyway, well designed and structured. Good luck!
@alexandra_kretova1 we have a ton of designers using it now for their case studies, I'd love to hear what you think from a design perspective! thanks for your support β¨
SO proud of what our team has accomplished! As someone who's been through the rewarding journey of freelancing and the challenges that come with it, I never imagined there'd be ONE platform to help you create a super-polished portfolio (in just a few clicks!), find quality jobs, manage contracts/projects, and get paid commission-free π€―.
Whether you're new to freelancing or a seasoned pro, Contra's got your back. We put independents first and can help you easily start, grow, or streamline your business.
HUGE congrats to our insanely talented and dedicated team who worked their butts off to reach this milestone! We can't wait to hear what you think π β the best is yet to come.
@rymagno Could not have said it better!! Having one platform to find opportunities, showcase your work and manage your independent business is a dream and I'm so proud to have been a part of the team that made that dream a reality!! π
Your work on all of these feature mades them so polished and easy to use and I can't wait to see what you come up with next π
