The month is over—time for some statistics 🙌
I started this year by deciding to prepare various templates (free and paid) so that they wouldn't just sit in my desk drawer. My goal was to stay active on different platforms and showcase different things in my portfolio 💼
In January, I posted a free template on ui8 that I also wanted to promote through Dribbble (but as it turned out, Dribbble doesn't promote shots with links in the description at all). Something went wrong, let's look at the numbers 🎉
*readd below in reply*
1️⃣ UI8 - 18 downloads - not bad for a fairly non-universal template. I can't track where people came from, but based on my feelings, I would distribute it like this:
• downloads from the platform itself
• downloads from contra.com
• downloads via a link from Dribbble
2️⃣...
wonderful!

One of my proudest achievements is being ranked in the Top 18 template creators in the CapCut app.
💡 Imagine creating & selling Contra Portfolio themes natively, inside Contra as digital products 🎨 listed on creator profiles & within the theme customization area.
The infrastructure's already there—Portfolio themes (templates) populate from Contra content (projects, services, testimonials)—AND the price of a Pro or Max subscription is roughly equal to 3rd party site hosting, BUT with zip, ZERO, nada content migration hassle. 😌🪄✨
3 little changes that can add big value to Portfolio sites:
🛍️ Products — a shoppable page for Contra-hosted digital products.
📝 Posts — our community posts as a lightweight micro-blog.
💌 Messages — widget routing inquiries to Contra inbox.
To me, this feels like a natural next step. 😁 Would you use this feature or create a Portfolio theme? Let me know what you think!
The shoppable products page idea is genuinely exciting. Selling digital products directly from your Contra profile would be a game changer!
This is a Lovable template i have been working on. I tried to do for something clean and clear, let me know what you think! 🤔
