Yes, the CMS in Webflow allows you to create uneven grids, providing you with the flexibility to design unique and custom layouts for your website. Here's how you can achieve this using Webflow:

  1. Create a new Collection: Start by creating a new collection in the Webflow CMS. This collection will hold the content items that you want to display in your uneven grid.

  2. Design your Collection Template page: Once the collection is created, design a Collection Template page where you can define the layout and styling for each individual item in the grid. Customize the layout using div blocks, flexbox, or grid elements.

  3. Add Dynamic Content: After designing the Collection Template page, you can add dynamic content elements like text fields, images, or any other desired content from your collection. These elements will be populated with the content from the collection when the site is published.

  4. Create a Collection List: Go back to your main layout page where you want to display the uneven grid and add a Collection List element. This list will pull in the content from your collection and display it in the layout you've defined in the Collection Template page.

  5. Style your uneven grid: Use Webflow's design tools to style the Collection List and its contents. You can apply different classes, adjust margins, padding, and add animations to create a visually appealing uneven grid.

By following these steps, you can leverage the Webflow CMS to create and populate an uneven grid with dynamic content. This flexibility allows you to display content items in a visually interesting way, adding dynamism and variety to your website design.

Example: In the image provided, you can create an uneven grid similar to the one shown by adjusting the size and positioning of the elements within each grid item. You can also use different sized grid cells to create an uneven pattern.
