Can Webflow's CMS support the creation of dynamic collections with URLs next to the root domain like website.com/a, website.com/b, and website.com/c?
Yes, Webflow's CMS can indeed support the creation of dynamic collections with URLs next to the root domain, such as website.com/a, website.com/b, and website.com/c. This functionality allows you to dynamically generate pages and content based on your collections, making it easier to manage and display your content in a structured way. Here's how you can achieve this in Webflow:
Create a Collection: Start by creating a collection in the Webflow CMS. Each item in the collection will represent a page on your website. For example, if you want the URL website.com/a for a specific collection item, you would create a corresponding item in the collection.
Set the Collection URL: In the Collection settings, you can set the URL format for each collection item. Specify the desired format for the URL such as "website.com/{slug}" or "website.com/{category}/{slug}". The {slug} variable will be replaced by the value you provide for each item in the collection.
Design Collection Page: Design the dynamic collection page template in the Webflow Designer. This template will be used for all collection items. You can add dynamic components and fields to display the content from each specific item in the collection.
Publish and Test: Publish your website and test the dynamic collection URLs. When you navigate to website.com/a, website.com/b, or website.com/c, Webflow will display the respective collection items based on the URLs and the content you have added to each item in the collection.
Using this approach, you can easily create and manage dynamic content in Webflow's CMS, with URLs that are next to the root domain. It provides flexibility and scalability for building complex websites with many dynamic collection pages.
