    I only heard of it last week, but apparently it’s been around for a few years already and has millions $$$ of funding in San Francisco, why is their marketing so bad?

    and their SEO is terrible, look at their profiles: https://contra.com/mendozakate1_hs024wfs

    Instead of highlighting your profile and recent reviews and services/gigs you provide, they focus entirely on your example projects. This makes no sense to me, and each project has it’s own URL like: https://contra.com/p/UWscblvX-hashimotive-healthcare-application

    And your services tab is separate: https://contra.com/mendozakate1_hs024wfs/services

    And then each of your services ALSO has a new URL: https://contra.com/s/Re3gNY2A-uxui-design

    I’d be surprised if anyone makes real money on this platform. But a real competitor to Upwork would always be nice…

    their homepage is terrible, I didn’t even realize it was for hiring freelancers, why do these platforms try to pretend like they are some world-changing business? it’s a place to hire people for services, just say that!

    I checked it previously but growth has been slow there are real clients however and less competition

    I’m not hating but UI looks women-designed and structure looks third world designed.
