To create nested lists in Webflow, you can utilize the built-in list element and apply some custom styling. Here's a step-by-step guide to creating nested lists in Webflow:

  1. Add a List element to your page: Open the Webflow Designer and navigate to the page where you want to add the nested list. Drag and drop a List element from the Elements Panel onto your page.

  2. Customize your list items: Each item within the list is represented as an individual List Item element. Select the List element on your page, then click the Add List Item button in the toolbar to add as many list items as you need.

  3. Create a nested list: To create a nested list, drag and drop another List element directly inside the desired list item. You can nest lists as deep as you want, adding multiple levels of nesting if necessary.

  4. Style the nested list: By default, the nested list will inherit the styling of the parent list. However, you can apply custom styles to the nested list to differentiate it from the parent list. Select the nested List element, then use the Styles Panel to adjust spacing, font, color, or any other desired customization.

  5. Repeat for additional layers of nesting: If you want to create further levels of nesting within the nested list, simply repeat steps 3 and 4.

  6. Preview and publish your changes: Once you're satisfied with the nested list structure and styling, preview your changes in the Webflow Designer to ensure it looks as intended. Make sure to publish your site to make the changes live on the web.

Creating nested lists in Webflow allows you to organize information in a hierarchical structure, making it easier for visitors to navigate and understand your content. By utilizing the steps above, you can create visually appealing and functional nested lists using the built-in List element in Webflow.
