I built a NYC gym owner a website that looks like $15,000.
He paid $200.
Before you say I undercharged — hear me out.
I didn't spend weeks on it.
I wrote a prompt. AI built the demo.
Pushed to GitHub. Sent a Vercel link.
He approved it from his phone between sets.
I built the real thing on WordPress. Done.
Fast process = lower price = happy client = great review.
Now he's sending me his trainer friends. 🔥
So tell me — would YOU have charged more?
Drop your number below. I'm curious. ⤵️

Freelancer advice: Never tell clients how long something takes you.
They’re paying for the years it took you to do it that fast.
Hourly pricing has its place for tedious, repetitive, or open ended tasks.
Agree or disagree?
Agreed 👍
Here are a few premium-feel landing page designs that I shipped recently.
Would love to hear your thoughts on it. 👀
Amazing!
What
Squeeze is a dead-simple image compression app that runs entirely in your browser. Drop in any image, and it gets compressed, converted, and resized in seconds; nothing ever leaves your device.
Instead of a spinner, Squeeze shows a silky-smooth visual breakdown of the compression: detail layers, color fields, luminance, metadata; so you see exactly what's happening, frame by frame.

Why
Designers deal with heavy images all day. Existing tools are either ugly, slow, or require uploads. Squeeze answers one question: what if compressing an image felt as good as the image itself?
Fast, private, and beautiful.
Who
For designers who care about both file size and visual quality, whether you're optimizing web assets, preparing a handoff, or just making a file small enough to send.
How
Figma Design agent – generated a rough draft. I polished the UI/UX, then had the agent build a component and variable library from my design.
Figma MCP + Cursor – Rebuilt the component and style libraries one-to-one in code, laying a solid foundation.
Figma Make – Brought the code back via GitHub connector, refined the UI and animations, and published.
