Yes, CMS items can be displayed using grid in Webflow. Grid is a powerful layout system that allows you to organize content in a two-dimensional grid. With Webflow's CMS capabilities, you can populate a collection list (which is used to display CMS items) with dynamic content and apply grid layout to it.

Here's how you can display CMS items using grid in Webflow:

Create a CMS Collection: Start by creating a CMS collection and define the fields you want to include for each item (e.g., title, image, description, etc.).
Design your Collection Item template: Design the layout for each CMS item by creating a Collection Item template. Add elements such as text blocks, images, or any other content you want to display for each item.
Add a Collection List to your page: Drag and drop a Collection List element onto your page where you want the CMS items to be displayed. Bind the Collection List to your CMS collection in the right panel by selecting the appropriate collection.
Configure the Grid layout: With the Collection List selected, go to the Styles panel and choose the Grid layout option. Here, you can define the number of columns, row gap, and column gap for the grid.
Customize the CMS item design: Within the Collection Item template, you can style the individual elements. Apply grid properties, such as specifying which row and column a specific element should span, to create your desired layout.
Preview and publish: Preview your page to see how the CMS items are displayed using the grid layout. Make any necessary adjustments to the design and then publish your website.

Using grid layout with CMS items in Webflow provides you with the flexibility to create dynamic, responsive layouts for your content. It allows you to organize and present your CMS items in a visually appealing way, improving the overall user experience.
