Yes, you can create a CMS grid on your homepage in Webflow that pulls from multiple collections. Here's how you can do it:

  1. Start by adding a new Collection List element to your homepage. You can find this element in the Add panel on the left side of the Webflow Designer.

  2. Once you've added the Collection List element, you'll need to link it to your first collection. In the Collection List settings panel, choose the collection you want to pull data from.

  3. Customize the layout and design of your collection items by adding Collection Item elements inside the Collection List element. You can add any elements you want, such as images, text, and buttons, and style them as needed.

  4. In order to pull data from multiple collections, you'll need to add Collection List elements for each additional collection you want to include. Repeat steps 1-3 for each collection.

  5. To display the different collection lists in a grid layout, you can use the built-in Grid element or use custom CSS to style the layout as desired. This will allow you to arrange the collection lists in a grid formation on your homepage.

  6. Don't forget to connect the fields from each collection to the corresponding elements in your grid layout. This can be done by selecting the appropriate field from the collection in the settings panel of each element.

  7. Lastly, make sure to preview and publish your changes to see the CMS grid in action on your live site.

By following these steps, you can create a CMS grid on your homepage in Webflow that pulls data from multiple collections. This allows you to showcase various types of content in a visually appealing and organized manner.
