It fills me with great excitement to know that this day has finally arrived. They have created a spectacular product and I am thrilled to have seen how they have evolved since the early days. 🚀

Portfolios by Contra is a freelancer's dream come true, and I'll explain why with a little story: Five years back when I lost my job, I decided to freelance — but did not have a portfolio to showcase my work. As a designer, I had a very specific vision for how I wanted my personal website to look. I wasn't satisfied with what any of the portfolio sites and templated website builders were offering, so I took to task building my own site from scratch. While I learned a lot about building websites, coding, and responsive design, it took a solid couple of months to get this thing off the ground (delayed time to value), and once I started getting clients, I had to figure out contracts, invoicing, and payments (and the earnings I had to give up to processing fees), cobbling together different tools and hacky approaches. When I had new projects to showcase, updating the site was such a hassle that I didn't even bother; it hasn't been updated since I first built it. Does this sound familiar? 🙈 Enter Contra 💥 Over the weekend, I was able to move all of my content from my old site into a Contra Portfolio is no more than twenty minutes. And the template I'm using looks almost exactly like my old site — except now, it comes connected with the entire stack of features that Contra offers to make freelancing a breeze: pre-made contracts, built in messaging, project management, invoicing and commission-free payments all 👏 in 👏 one 👏 place 👏 . This is a dream come true for 2018-me. I am ever-grateful to have found Contra, to be a part of this incredibly talented team that is building the future of independent work, and the support of our global community that is helping us get there. We'll continue empowering freelancers to put their best selves forward — this is just the beginning and I can't wait for what's next! 💪
