Let’s talk numbers: Contra vs. Upwork.

On Upwork, winning a high-ticket contract often requires a heavy investment in connects and a massive volume of pitches.

Contra feels like a totally different landscape—more focused on premium, independent expertise and direct matching. But I want to see what the actual data looks like across different niches.

If you are winning work here: 1️⃣ What is your proposal-to-win ratio? (e.g., 5 pitches = 1 win?) 2️⃣ Do you find that clients here respond faster than on traditional marketplaces?

Drop your experience in the comments. Let's help each other understand the landscape. 🤝 #react #next.js #webflow #wordpress #claude #AI #AI_development #AI_automation #Supabase #Cloudflare #Cloudflare_Workers #SAAS #MVP #designer #developer #freelancerlife

We’ve just launched a brand new website for a well established UK real estate company with over 20 years in the industry, dozens of employees, and an impressive portfolio of projects. The challenge was bringing all those case studies, people, and expertise into one clear, easy to navigate experience. From the homepage to projects to the people page, everything had to feel structured, intuitive, and effortless. We explored different layout systems, built a powerful CMS for the projects and team pages, and designed over 100 pages in under six weeks. Really proud of how this one turned out. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
