Custom Kajabi Design & Development for ContraBIM
Overview
ContraBIM delivers production-ready Archicad and BIM workflows — templates, training, toolkits, and quantity-takeoff systems built for real-world design and construction. As the first Graphisoft Digital Associate Partner in North America, with a 21K+ audience and two decades of construction-side BIM coordination behind it, ContraBIM needed a platform as rigorous and professional as the systems it sells. I designed and custom-developed the entire experience natively in Kajabi.
The Challenge
This was one of the more complex builds I've taken on. ContraBIM isn't a single product or a single audience — it's a complete system (the CB2.0 template, The BRIDGE, BIM packages, toolkits, custom fonts, and more) serving two distinct audiences at once: the architects and designers who use Archicad daily, and the manufacturers who want to get specified inside the tools those designers use. The platform had to speak to both without confusing either, present a tiered trade community and manufacturer partnership program, and feel like credible, SaaS-grade software — because its buyers are technical, discerning professionals who can spot a template a mile away.
The Approach
This is exactly my niche: fully custom design and development, built entirely in Kajabi — no templates. I designed a clean, technical, SaaS-grade aesthetic — deep navy and white with a sharp orange accent, a subtle blueprint-grid motif, and architectural photography — that signals precision and authority. Then I hand-built it in Kajabi so it looks and behaves like bespoke software while running entirely on the platform the team can manage.
What I Built
A dual-path homepage with a "start where you are" journey that routes active Archicad users, newcomers, and manufacturer partners to the right next step.
Product & system pages for the full ContraBIM toolkit — CB2.0 template, The BRIDGE, BIM packages, toolkits, and fonts — framed as a complete system, not a static file.
A tiered trade community with content, visibility, and membership levels.
Manufacturer partnership pages and tiers, positioning ContraBIM as the way to reach a focused designer audience.
Pricing tiers, member area, and supporting pages, all unified into one cohesive, high-trust experience.
Design & Development Details
Every custom-coded section sits behind Kajabi's native editor, so the team can update products, tiers, and content without touching code. The build is fully responsive and mobile-optimized, with the technical design tuned to feel premium and precise on every screen — behaving like custom software while staying manageable for the team.
The Result
ContraBIM launched as a polished, SaaS-grade platform that serves both designers and manufacturers from one cohesive system — proof of what I do best: taking a complex, technical, multi-audience brand and delivering a fully custom Kajabi build that looks and works like bespoke software, not a template.
