To create a Masonry layout for a Collection List in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Add a Collection List to your Webflow project by dragging and dropping it onto your page.
  2. Set up your Collection by creating and populating it with items that you want to display in the Masonry layout.
  3. Customize the Collection List by selecting it, and in the settings panel on the right, choose the Collection you want to display and define the layout style for the Collection List.
    • You can set the Display property to Grid or Flexbox depending on your preference.
    • Adjust the Columns property to the desired number of columns for your layout.
  4. Customize the Collection Item by selecting the Collection List, going to the settings panel, and clicking on Collection Item.
    • Set the width of the Collection Item to a specific value or a percentage to maintain the desired spacing in the Masonry layout.
