I build custom Astro sites with a guided way to edit them - so you can change your own content without ever breaking the design.
Most custom sites have one catch: the handoff...
One client told me he was scared to touch his own website. That's the problem I set out to kill.
Here's how it works: the editing stays locked inside the design system. You can rewrite copy, reorder sections, swap images and it's physically hard to make it look wrong...
What you actually get:
- Independence to change your site yourself, on your schedule, no tickets.
- A brand that stays intact — no drifting fonts, no broken spacing, no accidental mess.
- No bottleneck - you're not waiting on a developer (or paying) for every comma.
That, to me, is what delivering a website should mean - not a pretty file you're afraid to open.
Feel free to ask me I build Astro sites you can actually run yourself.
Fantastic execution from both a UX and visual design perspective. The hierarchy, spacing, imagery, and overall flow create an immersive experience that perfectly suits a tourism website. Every detail feels thoughtful and purposeful. Excellent work! 🔥👏
The framing of "a pretty file you're afraid to open" is spot on. Client handoff is where a lot of good design falls apart. Building the editing constraints into the system rather than relying on the client to follow a style guide is a much smarter approach.

Excited to submit "soundchecksf" a new and organic way to discovery live music.
Link: https://soundchecksf.figma.site/
Community file: https://www.figma.com/community/file/1647490463683801916
Why this idea...I believe discovering new music these days is far too algorithmic. That said, taking a chance on seeing a live band you've never heard of has its own issues too. So I thought, what if I could build an experience that would simulate what it is like walking through an area only to hear a sound that pulls you in and creates a memory forever? This was very much inspired by what happened to me a few years back.
Enter...soundchecksf where you can take a stroll through a neighborhood and hear ACTUAL live music that's coming to a place near you! This updates every night 4amPST so you're bound to discover a new sound every time you come back.
How I built this...started with basically pen and paper (aka an app and Apple pen) quickly followed by planning and building a prototype with Claude. Then I used Figma Weave to build some assets and went into Figma Make to build key parts of this experience, one-by-one. After multiple rounds of polishing the UX, UI, the mobile experience, and ensuring I had accurate and functioning backend support...what has come out of all of this is something I'm proud to share.
Let me know what you think and wishing best of luck to all the other participants!
P.s For feasibility, UX, and credit reasons, I had to limit this to a few venues throughout certain neighborhoods in the Bay Area. Also, the artwork is loosely inspired by the place it's respresenting. I can't wait to build this out more, add more polish and yes, more cities!

Hey Contra 👋
I'm Natali, a Web and UX/UI Designer from Ukraine.
I'm new here, so I thought I'd introduce myself and start exploring how everything works on Contra ✨
For my first post, I'd like to share a website concept I recently designed for an interior design studio. My goal was to create a sense of elegance, atmosphere, and space through typography, contrast, and carefully crafted visual details.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on the project 🤍
Also, I'm curious - what do you enjoy most about Contra, and what advice would you give to someone who's just getting started?
рада тебе тут бачити 😍
Hello everyone 🎉
I'm Viktoriia, a UX/UI Designer from Ukraine with 4+ years of experience creating websites and digital products.
My work spans SaaS, e-commerce, real estate, education, wellness, and nonprofit projects — from UX research and user flows to polished UI and design systems.
Lately, I've been actively exploring how AI can support the design process. I use AI tools to support research, explore ideas, challenge assumptions, and streamline workflows while keeping human-centred design at the core.
Excited to connect with fellow designers, founders, and creative professionals here on Contra. ✨
