Yes, Webflow does offer an option for creating a 5-image slider on CMS.

To create a 5-image slider on CMS, you would need to follow these steps:

  1. Set up your CMS Collection: First, you will need to create a CMS Collection to store your images. Go to the CMS tab in the Webflow Designer and click on "Add new Collection." Provide a name for your Collection and set up the necessary fields, such as "Image" for the image itself.

  2. Add images to the CMS Collection: Once your CMS Collection is set up, you can start adding images to it. Go to the CMS tab and click on the Collection you just created. Click on "Add new ..." to add a new entry for each image. Upload your images to the appropriate field.

  3. Design the slider: In the Webflow Designer, go to the page where you want to display the 5-image slider. Drag and drop a Slider component from the Add panel on the left side. You can customize the appearance of the slider, such as the arrow buttons, indicators, and transition effects, using the Slider settings on the right side.

  4. Connect the CMS Collection to the slider: With the Slider component selected, go to the Settings panel on the right side. Under "Slide settings," choose the "Get from CMS" option. Select your CMS Collection and the "Image" field as the source for each slide.

  5. Set the number of slides: By default, the Slider component will display all the images in the CMS Collection. To limit it to show only 5 images, you can use a combination of filters and sorting options in the CMS Collection settings. For example, you can filter by a specific category or use a custom ordering field.

  6. Style the slider: Finally, you can style the slider to match your design by using the various styling options available in the Webflow Designer. You can adjust the size, spacing, typography, and other settings to create a visually appealing 5-image slider.

By following these steps, you can create a 5-image slider on CMS using Webflow. Remember to publish your changes for the slider to be visible on your live website.
