Create Project Templates for WebFLow
Problem to solve
GitLab users should be able to create a new project using a WebFlow template in order to create a static website easily. Webflow has nice features and for those who prefer to use it, we can set up new project templates that allow them to easily use Webflow for static site CI/CD, while also taking advantage of GitLab repos, merge requests, issues, and everything else.
