CMS Developer for Editorial Site at ObareMag.com

I’m looking for an experienced Webflow developer with strong JavaScript skills to build an editorial / magazine website for ObareMag.com, inspired by the clean typography + image-forward layout of HommeGirls.com.

No e-commerce. This is a CMS-driven editorial site with high-performance video + swipe interactions.

Core Features (Must Have)

  1. Swipeable Carousel Inside Articles (CMS)

Carousel supports mixed media: images + videos in the same carousel

Swipe left/right like an Instagram-style carousel

Works smoothly on mobile (priority) and desktop

Carousel must be reusable as a module inside CMS posts

Clean, premium editorial typography and spacing

Layout should feel like a modern magazine (not a generic blog template)

Easy for my team to publish new posts without breaking layout

What I Will Provide

Brand direction + example references as to how the site should look, designed in photoshop

Content structure guidance (what sections go on the homepage)

Existing assets (logos, type preferences if needed)

What I Need From You (Requirements)
