A lot of teams default to Canva for LinkedIn posts.
It’s easy.
But easy isn’t always scalable.
I build systems in Figma for individuals and companies that want:
• consistent branding
• reusable layouts
• structured components
• faster production
• no weekly redesign
I recently delivered one for an AI consultant.
Now she simply:
duplicates a template
swaps text and/or images
exports
That’s it.
No redesigning.
No layout decisions.
No inconsistency.
Easy isn't always scalable. That is very true. One goat for you🐐
This is the real value of systems thinking, Bram. You're not just designing templates, you're removing friction from the production process.
That consultant going from zero redesigns to just duplicate-swap-export is exactly the outcome good design systems should enable.
That's scalable.
Most people optimize for easy. Few optimize for repeatable.
Niceee! easy to use and quick!
scalable and reusable system 🤩
wonderful design! good!
This is the difference between designing posts and building a system. Canva is quick, but Figma done right creates repeatability and brand discipline. Removing layout decisions saves time and protects consistency. Smart move for anyone thinking long term.
This is really cool
This is brilliant, Bram! The shift from Canva to Figma for scalable LinkedIn content is a game-changer. Building reusable component systems saves so much time in the long run. How do you typically structure the design tokens and variants for different content types? Also curious...
Good work!
I use figma too but tbh I think people don't care what tool you used so long you are making Value packed contents.
Scalable systems like this are game-changers! Structure beats starting from scratch every time
Fantastic!
This is a great idea. I shall start looking into this more. Thanks for the post!

💡 Imagine creating & selling Contra Portfolio themes natively, inside Contra as digital products 🎨 listed on creator profiles & within the theme customization area.
The infrastructure's already there—Portfolio themes (templates) populate from Contra content (projects, services, testimonials)—AND the price of a Pro or Max subscription is roughly equal to 3rd party site hosting, BUT with zip, ZERO, nada content migration hassle. 😌🪄✨
3 little changes that can add big value to Portfolio sites:
🛍️ Products — a shoppable page for Contra-hosted digital products.
📝 Posts — our community posts as a lightweight micro-blog.
💌 Messages — widget routing inquiries to Contra inbox.
To me, this feels like a natural next step. 😁 Would you use this feature or create a Portfolio theme? Let me know what you think!
The shoppable products page idea is genuinely exciting. Selling digital products directly from your Contra profile would be a game changer!
Can you believe I made this in seconds in Figma Make? 👀
Okay… not the final design. But the concept? Yes.
I’m currently building a digital product, and this is how I explore ideas before committing to the actual design.

🟡 Figma Make isn’t replacing design thinking. It’s helping me move faster in the messy early stage.
🟡 Instead of starting from a blank canvas, I can test structure, layout, and direction quickly — then refine everything intentionally inside Figma.
🟡 Exploration first. Design decisions second. ✨
