Framer case study

Framer, an Amsterdam-based design software company, effectively scaled their support team using Contra's freelancing platform. This action was driven by their transformation into a comprehensive no-code website builder and a $27M Series C funding, which led to a 20% monthly increase in new customers.

This rapid growth required an agile and scalable customer support structure. Framer overcame the limitations of hiring and onboarding full-time staff at the same rate as customer acquisition by turning to Contra. This platform provided the flexibility to match them with contractors proficient in their products, which reduced response times and expanded support offerings.

As a result, Framer achieved a 50% reduction in ticket response times and completed over 65 projects on Contra. They deferred full-time hires by adopting a project-based hiring approach.

Contra's platform streamlined workflows, with contractors now leading in resolving 90% of customer inquiries. Their Contra Verified Expert Network played a significant role in this success. The Framer Expert program on Contra now boasts 290 experts and continues to grow. These experts have completed over 410 projects on Contra and have collectively earned over 1.3 million dollars.
