Startup Village
Overview
A nonprofit community that brings LA's most ambitious entrepreneurs together. Current members have raised +100M in funding from the top VC firms, exited multiple companies, have tens of millions of followers on social, have been accepted to top accelerators like YC, Techstars, etc, won Emmy awards, and amassed 100+ million downloads on the app store.
Entrepreneurship managed through Webflow's CMS.
Design Iteration
Working on this site, I went through numerous iterations. There was a previous version which aligned more to what was already in place:
1st iteration of the landing page. While the client liked it, he wanted to go in a different direction.
CMS Filtering system using Relume & Finsweet components
Proposed CMS Filtering System
Utilizing Finsweet's CMS Filter & Count List Items, I was able to replicate the search functionality of most e-commerce stores. This allows the user to sort and organize their way until they find their specific entrepreneur.
However, while the client was impressed with this feature, he feel like it didn't match with what he wanted for his site's brand. As a result, this feature wasn't implemented on the live site. It is available here.
Takeaways
This project highlighted the importance of constantly expanding your skillset, and the wide ecosystem that Webflow offers. Despite this feature not being implemented on the actual site, it still is a very powerful feature to utilize in the near future.
