Yes, you can create a multi-column carousel slider where only one column slides at a time using the built-in Webflow slider. Here's how you can achieve this:
- Add a "Slider" element to your Webflow project:
- Open the Webflow Designer and navigate to the desired page.
- Drag and drop a "Slider" element from the Add Panel onto your canvas.
- Configure the slider settings:
- With the Slider element selected, open the Slider Settings panel on the right-hand side.
- Set the "Slide type" to "Carousel".
- Set the "Slides to show" value to the number of columns you want to display.
- Add columns to the slider:
- Within the Slider element, you can add multiple child elements to represent the columns of your slider.
- You can use any desired element, like a "Div" block or a "Container" element, to create the columns.
- Style the columns:
- Select the child elements within the Slider element and apply desired styles to create the columns.
- Configure the width and height of each column as per your design requirements.
- You may also add margins or padding to separate the columns visually.
- Apply interactions to control sliding:
- Open the Interactions panel in the Designer.
- Trigger the interaction using a button or any other element you want to use to control the slide.
- Add a "Slide" or "Move" animation to the interaction that affects the position of the Slider element.
- Set the "Slide" or "Move" animation to affect the "X" position of the Slider element.
- Specify the amount of distance the Slider should move horizontally with each interaction.
- Preview and refine:
- Preview the page to see how the slider behaves, and make any necessary adjustments to the column styles, animation settings, or other configurations.
- Repeat Steps 3 to 6 as needed to add more columns or customize the slider further.
With these steps, you can create a multi-column carousel slider where only one column slides at a time using the built-in Webflow slider. Remember to preview your site and optimize the design and interactions accordingly to create a smooth user experience.
