@Framer
Freebie!
Earlier this month my portfolio got the 👍👍 from design daddy himself
@DannPetty
and I thought, why not release the Framer remix link for free?
If you want a simple and straight to the point portfolio template, remix it away! 📀 👇 👉
I'm super stoked to share that
@Contra
's new homepage is now built in
@Framer
, by me! The home page was the last missing piece for the whole site to be powered by Framer. This was a super exciting and challenging project 🤩 💛
Design:
@erinnhorner
and
@jeanniekkho
Super excited to share that the
@Planhat
site is finally live! 🎉 🎉 biggest and most challenging
@Framer
build I've ever done.
@_andresjasso
put the initial foundation in place. Some design and code by
@reimrtz
There's so much packed into this site:
Long post incoming! 📖
I don't stop often enough to look back and think of how far I've come..
I'm beyond grateful for the success I've had on
@contra
this year on top of my FT job. I've always said I did freelancing on the side but this year was the first time, in many years,
Loving the effect here when timing the cool page transition + video editing timed together in our new hero video for Eko's new
@framer
site 🤌
We're making product pages more interactive and exciting!
Can finally share work from the first batch of work with
@contra
. The page is now built in
@Framer
!
If you need help migrating your pages to Framer, hit me up! 🤝
I'll be sharing more pages soon!
Quick
@Figma
tip:
Option (⌥) + Double Click =
shortcut into the gradient color picker *
* this only works for gradient layers. If you have an image on layer or an image on top of the gradient(like noise) it will go into the crop mode.

@framer
's new website is so 🔥 it brings me joy to see the
@contra
portfolios page I built featured in it! And a bonus being beside the talented
@DesignedByPaul
🙌
OMG pressing ENTER ( ↩ ) now in Framer finally takes you a level deeper in the layers hierarchy! 🤩
I use ↩ and ⇧ ↩ A LOT to go up and down the layers in Figma and this used to annoy me a lot. Small but mighty quality of life update! Thanks
@Framer
🙏
Had a great early morning chat with
@ransegall
for
@FluxAcademyHQ
on why/how I “moved” from Webflow to
@framer
. And also a bit about
@contra
. Simply nothing bad to say about
@webflow
, but for my workflow Framer fit a bit better.
Had the absolute pleasure to work with the
@contra
team to build a super fun
@framer
landing page and we just wrapped it up today, can't wait to see it live! 🤐
I'm also available for freelance projects! If you or your team is on a tight deadline and want to create some sick
@framer
website/landing page, hit me up on
@contra
:
If you were wondering (like me 😅) how the F to do that
@miggi
magic in Figma, here's a demo with using the star tool but you can also just draw your own vector network. Supafun, thanks Miggi!!
#FigmaTip
Created a design QA checklist to make it easier to inject common forgotten QA things into the design workflow.
It helps you remember to fill common gaps like error states, tooltips, text truncation, scroll/sticky behavior, etc...

It’s basically an art gallery. Not that different from Dribbble IMO except things are live. I still use it for inspiration tho when I’m trying to think of different things to mix in my designs.
Yooo this is an insane update! lots of people were complaining about other stuff but even though it can look more like a "cosmetic" update, this is HUGE! I already have two websites i was hacking things together that i can immediately clean up after the updates 🖤🤩
Still finding my ways around making video but happy to get back on Youtube. So, if you've had optimization issues with nested links in
@Framer
, this video can help you understand why they happen and how to resolve them 👇

Uh, 1) this hilarious, 2) reality check, we are the ones forcing kids to eat meat.. put a bunny and a pack of strawberries in a baby’s crib and watch to see which one the baby will play with and which they will eat.
Omg idk when this went live but "ESC" now unselects dropdowns in Framer, finally! This was super annoying to me that i had to click back in the input or do a ⇧ TAB before pressing ESC to unselect the inputs. This little update made me so happy today :)

day 2 - Gallery prototype
@miggi
couldn't get the animation to the degree of perfection i wanted but im happy with the experiment. It also reveals how old I am.. 💽👴

@realvjy
A lil appreciation post to
@contra
my profile has said "unavailable" for the last couple of months or so and I still get DMs from potential clients almost daily through the "Get in Touch" button. It's quite amazing and I've never experience that before 💛
Slightly embarrassing confession.. I've been designing for 10 yrs total and have never really been able to finish a portfolio(no BS). But
@contra
, even before these awesome AI updates, made it so easy for me to get my work out there in a meaningful way
#ContraPortfolioMagic
💛
I'm super excited to reveal the new Companies page I built for
@Contra
using
@Framer
! 🎉

A huge shoutout to
@ErinnHorner
,
@DeeReis
, and the Contra team for making this project possible!
@everestpipkin
I hear you, but people be so concerned about the environmental impact of crypto and NFTs while eating steak for dinner and dairy for dessert.
If a year ago someone said that I’d be implementing other designer’s designs as a side hustle I wouldn’t believe it. Thank you
@framer
and
@contra
for making that possible. Does that make me a designloper? Or a devigner?
I see a lot of jumpy accordions out in the wild. It's super easy to create buttery smooth accordions 🪗 in
@framer
just wrap all the accordions in a component and boom, done!✨

Not a fair comparison. Contra offers a variety of tools for freelancers at no cost + it’s commission-free. While you do also have low budget/cheap clients on Contra you see many 1-5k projects there, very different than fivver where 100% of clients are cheap
I once had a boss that told me I was delusional for wanting more than $20/hr as a designer with no degree. People's thoughts and experiences are just their own POV, it does not get to be your reality unless you let it.
Happy Monday!
Lately, I’ve been using
@framer
over
@figma
more and more to prototype higher fidelity things to communicate with the team or devs and it’s been great!
Just realized I passed the 500 followers milestone – woo! 🎉 Not aiming for design celeb status, just here to have a good time, connect with awesome folks, grow and support fellow designers. I appreciate y’all ☕️ 👊
The "Buy Service" feature can help us convert more clients, get featured on

site in seconds!
