Do I need to make the project page in my Webflow portfolio website a collection page in order to link it to the project preview on the home page?
In order to link a project preview on your home page to the corresponding project page in your Webflow portfolio website, you do not necessarily need to make the project page a collection page. Webflow offers different options to achieve this. Here's a breakdown:
Collection page: If you have multiple project pages that follow a similar template, you can create a collection for your projects. This allows you to dynamically add new projects and their corresponding project pages without manually creating each page. However, if you only have a few projects or want more control over each project page's design and layout, you may not need a collection.
Static page: If you prefer to have individual project pages with unique designs and content, you can create static pages for each project. To link the project preview on the home page to the project page, you can simply create a hyperlink on the home page that directs users to the specific project page's URL.
Dynamic list: If you have a list of projects on your home page and want to link each project to its corresponding project page, you can use a dynamic list. When creating the list, you can bind the list items to your collection or static pages. This way, each project preview has a link that leads to the respective project page.
In summary, making the project page a collection page is one option to link it to the project preview on the home page. However, depending on your specific needs, you can also use static pages or dynamic lists to achieve the same result. Choose the method that aligns best with your website's structure and content management preferences.
