I'm trying to understand something about Contra.
I've spent time improving my profile, building my portfolio, and tailoring my applications to the projects I apply for. Yet, one thing hasn't changed.
I still haven't received a single "Client viewed your application" notification.
That made me wonder if I'm focusing on the wrong things.
For those who've found success on Contra, what had the biggest impact in the beginning? Was it consistency, a stronger portfolio, a more complete profile, or something I might not be considering?
I'm treating this as a learning opportunity, so I'd genuinely appreciate hearing what worked for you.

Option one just flows better.
This project is my personal portfolio website, built with Squarespace. I created this website to establish my online presence as a freelance designer and create a space where I can share my future projects. The process allowed me to explore Squarespace’s design capabilities while building the foundation of my studio website.I used Finish Layer features throughout the website, including Block Animations and custom font uploads. These tools helped me customize the experience and build the visual direction of the website without using custom code.😊

I like the unique color picks and presentation with animations Selin! And the visual style you picked is amazing. But there is a long white screen at the end just to let you know!
