The winning strategy

Hey Oncer,

It’s been a busy week at the Once UI studio—we’ve added new components, page examples, and even launched our first Pro template!

Introducing Magic Bio

A simple, single-page link-in-bio template designed to showcase your social profiles and projects. Think of it as your personal hub, effortlessly guiding visitors to what matters most.

The key to driving traffic

In the past six months, we’ve launched over 10 websites. If there’s one thing we’ve learned, it’s this:

Here’s why:

• More traffic – Each site attracts visitors on its own and helps drive traffic to your other projects.

• SEO boost – Building high-quality backlinks is tough—so why not create your own?

• Brand authority – A network of sites makes your brand appear more established and credible.

Your websites are assets—and assets compound over time. A single site with multiple call-to-actions splits attention. But with multiple sites? You can lead visitors exactly where you want them to go.

Here’s how we do it:

lorant.one – My personal Magic Portfolio, showcasing my work and driving traffic to other projects.
lorant.bio – A quick, digestible bio site—perfect for those discovering me for the first time.
designengineers.club – A dedicated landing page for our community, built for high conversions.
once-ui.com – Our flagship product and the ultimate destination.
magic-portfolio.com – A niche solution for creatives needing a standout portfolio.

This multi-site approach expands our presence, builds trust, and fuels growth. That’s why we’re focused on ready-made solutions at Once UI—so you can launch effortlessly and let your sites work for you in the background.

The window of independence is open (for now)

While debates about AI replacing jobs continue, the reality is clear:

The market is shifting, junior roles are disappearing, and big tech is streamlining operations.

But I don’t believe the industry is dying—it’s transforming. Over the next few years:

> Mid-sized companies will struggle to justify costs and may go bankrupt.
> Big tech will pivot to infrastructure providers rather than consumer products.
> Indie ventures will thrive – small, agile teams will have an edge.

You don’t need VC funding or a big team to succeed. You just need to build something and find an audience. It doesn’t have to reach millions—just enough to sustain you and keep you creating.
