Do I need custom code to position CMS items on a grid or other axes in Webflow?
To position CMS items on a grid or other axes in Webflow, you do not necessarily need custom code. Webflow provides a visual editor that allows you to easily design and position CMS items on your website. Here's how you can achieve this without writing custom code:
Create a CMS collection: First, you need to set up a CMS collection and define the fields you want to use. This can include text, images, rich text, and more.
Design your CMS template: Once you have defined your collection, you can create a dynamic template that determines how the CMS items will be displayed on your website. You can design the layout, add elements, and style them to your liking.
Add a Collection List: In Webflow, a Collection List is used to display multiple CMS items. You can add a Collection List to your dynamic template and connect it to your CMS collection. This will automatically populate the list with your CMS items.
Position CMS items on a grid: Webflow enables you to design grid layouts within the Collection List. You can add grid elements such as div blocks, containers, or grids within the Collection List, and then drag and drop CMS fields into those grid elements. This way, you can easily position CMS items on a grid or any other desired axis.
Style the CMS items: After positioning the CMS items on the grid, you can style them using Webflow's visual editor. You can adjust typography, colors, spacing, and more to match the design of your website.
Preview and publish: Once you've finished positioning and styling your CMS items, you can preview your website to see how the dynamic content will appear. If you're satisfied, you can publish your site and the CMS items will be displayed on the grid or other axes as designed.
By using Webflow's visual editor and the powerful CMS capabilities, you can easily position CMS items on a grid or other axes without the need for custom code.
