Build a Visually Compelling, High-End Publishing Platform for an individual — Webflow + Memberstack

I’m building a branded, premium digital platform — a storytelling-first, visually striking space that sits at the intersection of journalism, language, identity, and cultural commentary. The space will host interviews, both visual and written, essays and thought leader commentary, predominantly based around the language we use.

Think:

The Cut meets The Paris Review meets a private members’ club mixed with a bit of tabloid press !! But based around words — with the functionality of a modern media site.

🎯 What I’m Creating:

A content platform that includes:

✍️ Written articles and essays (my own and interviews with high-profile people)

🎙️ Audio content (spoken word interviews, maybe podcast-style later)

🎥 Video integration (short, powerful, visual storytelling)

💸 Paywall / subscription model (freemium, pay-per-view, member-only content)

📰 A cross between a literary journal and a middle-end digital newspaper

🎨 A minimalist, cinematic brand aesthetic (it must feel compelling and visually addictive and can have nods to tabloid type press. But done in an understated way.)

📦 What I Need From You:

This is a Webflow build with either Memberstack or Outseta integrated for:

Stripe payments + subscriptions ( needs to be one click)

Member-only access to audio/text/video content

Tiered pricing model (free, monthly, annual)

Press pass options (access for journalists quoting material)

Also:

Home page with dynamic featured content

Custom CMS for me to post essays/interviews/audio

Responsive design (mobile-first)

Newsletter opt-in or ConvertKit integration

Advice on layout and UX to feel both compelling and current

SEO-friendly structure and clean backend
