To create a slider in Webflow where the main image is centered with the left and right images off-page on the sides, you can follow these steps:

  1. Add a new section: Start by adding a new section to your Webflow project. This section will contain the slider.

  2. Add the Slider component: Inside the newly created section, add a Slider component. You can find this component in the Add Panel on the left-hand side of the Webflow Designer.

  3. Set up slide structure: Within the Slider component, add three Slide components. These will represent the left, center, and right images.

  4. Add left and right images: Add the left and right images to the corresponding Slide components. You can drag and drop images onto each Slide or use the Image component within the Slide.

  5. Configure the Slider: Now, you will need to make some adjustments to the Slider component. Select the Slider and go to the Settings tab in the right-hand panel.

  6. Set the slide layout: Under the "Slider Options" section, choose "Horizontal" for the Slide Layout. This will ensure that the slides move horizontally.

  7. Set the Slide’s position: Select the "Centered" option for the "Slide position" setting. This will center the main image while pushing the left and right images off the screen.

  8. Adjust slide sizing: To create space for the off-screen images, increase the width of each Slide component. You can do this by selecting each slide and adjusting the width in the Styles panel.

  9. Hide overflow: To prevent the off-screen images from being visible, you need to hide the overflow of the Slider component and each Slide component. Select the Slider component, go to the Styles panel, and set the "Overflow" property to "Hidden". Repeat this step for each Slide component.

  10. Preview and refine: Finally, preview your slider and make any necessary adjustments to the slide sizes, images, or other properties until you achieve the desired effect.

By following these steps, you can create a slider in Webflow where the main image is centered with the left and right images off-page on the sides.
