Hey everyone! đ Writing out my first message to the Contra-sphere!
I'm new here on Contra, diving into the freelance side of things alongside my day job as a frontend dev. Been putting together my first few portfolio pieces this week: a training dashboard, a client pipeline board, a marketing page, and a booking flow, trying to show some real range instead of just one type of thing.
Coming from a full-time role, so a lot of this independent-work world is new to me. If you've been doing this a while, what's one thing you wish someone told you when you were just starting out? Genuinely curious, and happy to return the favor once I've got more miles on this.
Excited to connect with other devs and independent folks around here đ

A little milestone, but a reminder that showing up and doing good work consistently actually pays off.
If you're just starting out and wondering if it's worth it: it is. Keep going.
Thanks to all my clients and everyone here who's been so supportive.
That's Legendary bro congrats đĽđĽđĽđĽ
September was a good month:
> crossed $10k+ in revenue on Contra
> shipped 3 projects: landing page, brand design, website
> went fully independent as a designer
> got referred to a big client by another designer
Now opening 2 spots for October.
Great work on this
A calm, editorial landing page for an architecture studio, built around daylight and materials. We'd love to hear your thoughts! đď¸
The warm timber slats against the pale page feel calm. Did you build the motion in Jitter?
