Evaluate the publishing layer
A freelancer marketplace's public pages need readable profiles, useful categories, and clear enquiry forms. Webflow's CMS can support repeatable public page layouts. Private records, permissions, payments, and matching operations need their own verified design.
List the pages you need and test one profile, one category, and one enquiry flow. Check how approved content reaches the website and how you store each item's identifier. The public page editor is only one part of the marketplace.
For the broader tool mix, compare the marketplace stack. If a specific public-site feature is missing, choose an extension by that requirement. Use the recording for the historical reasoning and test current requirements before committing.
