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.
