We have a potential client that wants to create a site where members/actors can:
• Users can create personal profiles including uploaded photos and videos of their work.
• Users would have to pay for this service (a membership fee)
• Users will be able to post jobs looking to hire actors, photographers, etc or anyone that could potentially be involved in film making
• Users will also be able to apply for jobs by uploading their headshot and resume etc.
• Current projects
• List of locations for shooting videos
• Events (workshops, festivals, etc.)
• Searchable Database
• Contact page
• Newsetter sign up
My question is can Webflow do this sort of thing? Also, what plugins/modules would you recommend for this kind of site?
To support that second set of requirements, you would require a membership system which allows users to update their profile data and display it publicly. There’s a disconnect there in Webflow, between the “user accounts” subsystem and the CMS subsystem, which don’t interoperate.
You’d need to build that bridge, ideally you want the user’s public profile in the CMS, but you also want each user to be able to edit that CMS data and only their own CMS data.
That requires some creative engineering, usually in the form of automations and custom code. Memberstack is much better suited to the individual user data read/write, and has solid demos of some CMS integration scenarios ( using tools like Make, Zapier, etc. ).
Another route is to use Wized + Xano, with Webflow. Either way you’re going to need to learn a number of tools and some degree of programming skill.
