Whether you're a designer, developer, or consultant, Verified Projects give your portfolio more credibility, better visibility, and stronger social proof to attract top clients.
Why Verified Projects?
Verified Projects take your portfolio to the next level by showcasing real work and real earnings with added proof. Here’s why you should add them:
✅ More validity – Show proof of completed projects, not just another portfolio piece.
✅ Verified social proof – Highlight the real companies you’ve worked with.
✅ Better discovery – Tie your work to industries, making it easier for the right clients to find you.
The best part? Adding a Verified Project is quick and easy. Here’s how:
Two Ways to Verify
From Your Paid Project
If you’ve completed a paid project on Contra, you can turn it into a Verified Project in just a few clicks.
Go to your Paid Projects
Find the active or completed project you want to showcase.
Click “Create Verified Project” and create a case study from there.
From Your Portfolio
If you’ve already added the project to your portfolio but want to verify it, you can easily connect it to a paid project:
Go to your profile
Hover over the portfolio project you want to verify.
Click "..." and then "edit".
Add a featured image, then click "continue"
You will see the option to connect your paid project.
Click "publish" to verify it and set it live!
Show Your Earnings (Optional)
You can opt into showing your earnings from the project to add even more transparency and credibility to your work. This is completely optional.
For any projects where you choose to display earnings, we will get opt-in approval from your client as well before making the information public.
Get Verified & Stand Out
Verified Projects aren’t just about recognition—they help you build trust with future clients, boost your Discovery Score, and increase your chances of getting featured on Contra’s homepage.
