User Directory Site Pattern

When build on Webflow a directory site typically needs;

1. The Webflow CMS to store your public facing data for each member
2. A user accounts, authentication, and subscription-billing mechanism to control user access, along with sign-up, password retrieval, etc.
3. The ability to build a "profile edit" page that can retrieve the profile content, push changes back into the CMS, and restrict access to the correct user
4. An automation platform that can retrieve and update the CMS data
5. Javascript to connect the pieces together

Approaches

If you're comfortable with Javascript development, and building automations through platforms like Make, you can build this using Memberstack ( for user accounts, billing, user id, and user-specific private data storage ) and Make ( for the CMS updates of the public-facing directory ).

Alternatively you could use Wized, which offers some nocode development capabilities. You might need Xano as well for the internal user account storage and billing.
