I'm entering the #base44giveitaglowchallenge on Contra. $15,000 in prizes. The brief: give a real local business a glow-up with a live site and working automations using Base44.
The business I picked? My own.
I'm a personal trainer, and my online presence has been... let's just say it could use the glow. So I'm building myself what I'd build for any client: a fully designed, mobile-responsive site that actually works for the business.
Here's what I'm shipping:
The site. A clean landing page with my services, pricing, transformation photos, and a clear CTA. No clutter. No "contact me on Instagram DMs" as the booking flow. A real site that does the selling for me.
The automation. A booking or scheduling flow so clients can grab a session without the back-and-forth texting. Possibly an AI agent to handle common questions like pricing, availability, and what to expect in a first session.
The story. I'll document the full before/after. What my online presence looks like now vs. what it looks like when a web developer actually builds their own thing instead of just building for everyone else.
Deadline is July 13. Three days. I'll post the walkthrough when it's live.
If you're a freelancer who's been neglecting your own business while building for clients, this challenge is a good excuse to fix that.
My Contra Discovery Score has reached 114 points, placing me in the top 10% of creatives on the platform. My profile quality and profile completion are both at 100%, with a 5/5 average rating and availability turned on.
As a software engineer specializing in React, .NET, API development, and SAP Business One, I'm continuing to strengthen my Contra presence, showcase my portfolio, and connect with potential clients for new freelance opportunities.
