There is a significant shortage of products that are both commission-free, community-oriented, and user-friendly. I'm eagerly anticipating fully utilizing this product

I've been with Contra for over two years now and I've never seen such excellent support for freelancers. They are working hard to help us be successful and provide ways to connect with each other in the Contra community. This latest feature takes the guesswork out of "how do I get started" and helps creatives and independent thinkers focus on getting their skillsets out there. Their user feedback focused upgrades show how invested they are in the freelancer community and I couldn't be prouder to be associated with them. Love how this company keeps adjusting to apply the tools an techniques we need to be successful.

Congrats on the launch! I started on Contra in April and it is by far THE BEST platform I've hosted my portfolio on. Reason being, I love the utmost support I have received from the staff and peers. It has been such a supportive community that wants everyone to WIN! I love the portfolio templates, super modern and engaging. As someone who is a freelancer, I love that Contra vets all their incoming clients that want to post a for hire listing. I know as freelancers there are situations where something feels off but since I have started on this platform there has nothing but ups and wins! One of my favorite things about Contra, is their contract option that they provide when you start a gig with a client. I struggled with creating my own contract in the past. Contra has your back! I have nothing negative to say about Contra and I am looking forward to whatever the future brings for this company! Cheers xx

I recently joined Contra.com, and I must say, it's been an exceptional experience from the get-go. As a freelancer, finding the right platform to showcase my skills and connect with potential clients has always been a priority. Contra.com has exceeded my expectations in every way, and here are the reasons why I'm giving it a solid five stars: User-Friendly Interface: The website's design is clean, intuitive, and user-friendly. Navigating through the platform, setting up my profile, and browsing projects was a breeze. Contra.com truly understands the needs of freelancers and makes it easy to get started. Diverse Project Opportunities: I was pleasantly surprised by the wide variety of projects available on Contra.com. Whether you're a designer, developer, marketer, or writer, there's something for everyone. The platform's diversity in project types allows freelancers to explore new opportunities and expand their skill set. Transparent Payment: One of the standout features of Contra.com is its transparent payment system. You know exactly how much you'll earn for a project, and the platform handles payments securely, so you can focus on your work without worrying about financial transactions. Strong Community: Contra.com fosters a supportive and engaging community of freelancers. The ability to connect with fellow professionals, exchange advice, and collaborate on projects has been invaluable. It truly feels like a community where everyone is invested in each other's success. Responsive Support: Whenever I had questions or encountered any issues, the Contra.com support team was quick to respond and provided helpful solutions. Their commitment to helping freelancers succeed is evident in their excellent customer service. Portfolio Showcase: The platform's portfolio feature allows me to showcase my work in a visually appealing way. This has undoubtedly helped me attract more clients and stand out in a competitive freelance market. Ethical Values: I appreciate Contra.com's commitment to ethical and fair business practices. Their mission to provide freelancers with equitable opportunities and benefits aligns perfectly with my values as a professional. In summary, Contra.com is a game-changer for freelancers. It's more than just a platform; it's a community, a resource, and a reliable partner in your freelance journey. If you're a freelancer looking for a platform that truly understands your needs and supports your growth, I wholeheartedly recommend Contra.com. Five stars all the way!

You guys are best at what you do! Especially the launch video? I didn't expect it to be this good. It immediately got me intrigued and I went on to check further; It really is MAGIC! This is a new age company, for all kinds of people, and I've always expected brands like Contra to do something extraordinary and out of the box, with the features, and their branding as well; and Contra's doing it pretty well I'd say. I won't be surprised if I see this company playing bigger games with bigger sharks in the tank soon. Personally tried and tested, Solid 5/5. I agree with @kuizinas point - "As someone who started out as a freelancer, I know how important it is to launch a portfolio quickly to get the business running. But sometimes it can take FOREVER. And that's not how it’s supposed to be." Magic is the art of fascinating people.

This is such a win for independents — cause let's face it... we've all awkwardly stalled on updating our portfolios for longer than we shoud. So excited to see what this unlocks for freelancers!
