Yes, you can create a multi-column layout in Webflow without using code. Webflow's visual editor allows you to easily design and implement complex layouts with multiple columns. Here are step-by-step instructions on how to do it:

  1. Open your project in Webflow and navigate to the page where you want to create the multi-column layout.
  2. Add a new Section to your page by clicking on the "+" button in the top menu and selecting "Section" from the dropdown.
  3. With the newly added section selected, go to the "Settings" tab on the right-hand sidebar.
  4. In the "Layout" section, choose the desired number of columns for your layout from the "Columns" dropdown. You can select anything from 2 to 12 columns.
  5. Customize the width and gutter settings for your columns. The gutter is the space between each column, and you can adjust its size to your preference. You can also set different column widths by clicking on the "Columns" dropdown next to each column in the visual editor.
  6. Once you have set up the number of columns and their widths, you can start adding content to each column. Simply drag and drop elements from the Elements panel on the left, or copy and paste existing content into the columns.
  7. Customize the styling of your columns and their content using the various options available in the Style and Typography panels on the right. You can apply different backgrounds, borders, padding, and margins to each column or the entire section.
  8. Continue adding and styling content in each column until you achieve the desired multi-column layout.

By following these instructions, you can create a multi-column layout in Webflow without the need for coding. Webflow's intuitive visual editor makes it easy to design and customize complex layouts to suit your needs, whether it's a simple two-column layout or a more intricate design with multiple columns.
