Every client is different.
Some want a message every day. Some want silence until the app is ready.
Both are okay. The problem starts when nobody asks.
A client who wants daily updates feels ignored by a quiet developer. A client who wants quiet feels annoyed by daily messages.

So I'm curious. If you hire a developer, which one do you want? 1, 2 or 3?
And freelancers, which one do your clients usually pick?

Every new client used to start with me rewriting the same documents from scratch. ๐
So I built the 5 I use with every client and turned them into a kit:
โ Proposal with 3 ready packages
โ Service agreement
โ Onboarding form
โ Monthly report
โ Pricing guide (+ what to say when they say "too expensive")
All editable in Word.

What takes you the most time with new clients: proposals, contracts or reports? ๐
Great work! I appreciate how clearly the design prioritizes usability without compromising its visual appeal.
Freelancer on Friday: "Okay, closing the laptop."
Freelancer 10 minutes later: "Just one quick revision."
Freelancer on Saturday: still doing one quick revision.
$400K+ earned on Upwork. Now I'm starting from zero on Contra.
For years I worked almost only on Upwork. But lately, in my experience, it keeps adding new features that make life harder for freelancers instead of easier.
So I decided to try something new.
Honest status: no clients on Contra yet. I'm staying disciplined: showing up here every day and delivering for my current clients.
Attached is my Upwork profile, so you know where I'm coming from.
Which platform has brought you your best clients?
