Yes, Webflow's CMS can be used to create a dynamic page for a client's Programs that include categories, descriptions, locations, times, and specific events with their own descriptions, locations, times, and possible photos/videos. Here's how you can achieve this:

  1. Setting up the CMS structure:
  • Create a Collection called "Programs" to store the main program information, such as categories, descriptions, and locations.
  • Within the "Programs" Collection, create a Multi-reference field called "Events" to link specific events to each program. This allows you to associate multiple events with a single program.
  • Create another Collection called "Events" to store individual event information, such as descriptions, locations, times, and media.
  • Link the "Events" Collection to the "Programs" Collection using the Multi-reference field.
  1. Designing the dynamic page:
  • Create a new page in Webflow and customize the layout as desired.
  • Add a Collection List element to the page and bind it to the "Programs" Collection.
  • Add elements within the Collection List to display the program information, such as categories, descriptions, and locations.
  • Inside the Collection List, add another Collection List element to display the linked events for each program.
  • Bind the nested Collection List to the "Events" Collection using the Multi-reference field.
  • Add elements within the nested Collection List to display the event information, such as descriptions, locations, times, and media.
  1. Displaying media (photos/videos):
  • To display photos and videos for each event, you can use the image and video fields in the "Events" Collection.
  • Add an image or video element within the nested Collection List and bind it to the corresponding field in the "Events" Collection.
  • Customize the image or video element's design and settings to control the display.

You can repeat the process for each program and its associated events, and Webflow's CMS will dynamically populate the content on the page based on the data you add to the collections. This enables you to create a dynamic page for your client's Programs with categories, descriptions, locations, times, and specific events with their own descriptions, locations, times, and media.
