Project Description
Built a dynamic sports media streaming website, Sportslink, from a provided design file using Webflow. The project focused on implementing advanced animations, setting up membership pages with account-only access, and creating interactive content views through Webflow’s CMS.
Project Goals
Objective
Build a visually engaging, media-focused site with dynamic, user-friendly features for members.
Target User
Sports fans and streaming subscribers seeking exclusive access to premium sports content.
Challenges & Solutions
Challenge: Integrating advanced animations to enhance the user experience while keeping the site responsive and smooth.
Solution: I created custom animations from scratch, using Webflow’s interactions to add engaging motion and micro-interactions across sections, ensuring they worked seamlessly on all devices.
Challenge: Developing secure member-only access pages and ensuring content segmentation based on user accounts.
Solution: Set up secure membership functionality, creating pages that allow content access based on user status, providing a streamlined experience for subscribers.
Challenge: Customizing CMS and filtered views to display dynamic content in an organized, accessible way.
Solution: Structured the CMS to allow for filtered content views, such as recent games, trending videos, or categorized content, making navigation intuitive for users.
Process
Initial Setup: Analyzed the style guide and Figma design file to determine development requirements and established a consistent layout across the site based on the visual and branding guidelines.
CMS & Content Structuring: Built a custom CMS structure that organized content into easy-to-browse categories, integrating dynamic views so users could filter and view content based on their preferences.
Membership & Security Integration: Set up secure member-only pages, designing a seamless flow for account-based access that restricted content based on membership status.
Advanced Animations: Developed site-wide animations, including hover effects, loading transitions, and micro-interactions to create an immersive user experience without detracting from site performance.
Testing & Optimization: Conducted rigorous testing across different devices and user accounts to ensure all features, especially membership access, animations, and CMS views, worked smoothly and responsively.
Results
The Sportslink website delivered an engaging, high-performance media streaming experience, balancing dynamic visuals with functionality. The membership features and CMS-driven content views allowed users to access and explore premium content easily, while the advanced animations enriched the site’s overall aesthetic appeal. This project allowed me to further develop my skills in Webflow, especially in handling complex animations, CMS configurations, and gated content for user-focused sites.
