Day 7 of posting my journey on contra until I earn 10x hired
My Discovery score is still the same no changes.
So I took some time off from posting and worked real hard on learning designing web pages and applications on Framer. Being a traditional developer I have learnt web developement using Html, CSS, Javascript and other code centered tools like MERN stack, flutter, typescript etc. I am trying and learning everyday to switch to the tools favourable to Contra and Client -first applications like Framer, Webflow, Retool, Figma, Zapier (no-code setups).
This might take long before actually taking off to work but I am gonna do it. A little update I just redesigned the cover image of the "fullstack custom SaaS dashboards service " using Framer and with this Playful Brutalism Design.
Never give up , you are just getting on the track
stay consistent my guy

Way to go my friend, you are going places buddy.

When I moved from Upwork to Contra, I wasn’t sure whether I was making the right decision.
Now? I’m never going back.
Contra has given me more than a place to find work. It has connected me with clients who value my professional perspective, trust my expertise, and invest accordingly. It’s also given me visibility, community and the space to grow from an independent designer into a collaborative studio that’s continuing to expand.
So, if you’re just starting out on Contra, take this as your sign to keep going. Show up, share your work and give it time. You never know what it could grow into.
Wow...Thanks so much for this, Sydelle
I’m just starting out here and this has motivated me to do more.
Any tips on how to get better here, attract clients and all?
What if a design studio website didn't look like every other agency website?
I wanted this concept to feel less like a portfolio and more like a digital studio with a point of view.
Built around two simple ideas:
DESIGN. BUILD.
The goal was to create an experience that feels confident, editorial, and intentional from the typography and layout to the interactions.
Designed in Figma.
Built in Framer.
Still refining it, but I’m really happy with where it’s going.

the blurry people on the home page look great. what made you pick that effect?
Built a full-stack job portal aggregating government, private, IT, and other sector jobs. Developed the platform with Next.js 14 and Supabase PostgreSQL, including Google OAuth authentication. Created a Python web scraper using BeautifulSoup and Requests to collect job listings automatically, with daily execution through GitHub Actions. Deployed on Vercel with GitHub CI/CD and implemented responsive UI and SEO optimization.
The scraper is the part most people underestimate on a job board. Listings move, sites change markup, and half your value is freshness. Honestly just curious how you're handling rescrapes -- full sweep on a schedule, or diffing against what's already in Postgres? I've built...
