To place your main product on the home page of a Webflow site, you can follow these steps:

  1. Login to your Webflow account and select the project you're working on.
  2. Open the Designer tool by clicking on the "Designer" button.
  3. Once in the Designer, click on the page where you want to place your main product (in this case, the home page).
  4. In the left sidebar, you'll find the elements panel. Click on the plus sign (+) to add a new element to the page.
  5. Choose the element that best suits your main product, such as a div or a section.
  6. With the element selected, you can customize its appearance and layout using the properties panel on the right.
  7. To add the main product itself, you can add an image or embed a video. To add an image, you can drag and drop an image element from the elements panel onto the section/div element you created in the previous step. Then, upload or select the image you want to use.
  8. If you want to embed a video, you can use the embed element to add a YouTube or Vimeo video to the section/div element. Simply drag and drop the embed element onto the section/div element, and paste the video URL or embed code into the embed settings.
  9. Once you have added and customized your main product, you can fine-tune the positioning and layout by adjusting the element's margins, padding, and width/height in the properties panel. You can also use Flexbox or Grid to create more advanced layouts.
  10. Finally, you can preview your changes by clicking on the "Preview" button in the Designer tool. If everything looks good, click "Publish" to make your main product visible on the live site.

It's important to note that if you're following tutorials and it's not working, make sure you're following the correct instructions for the version of Webflow you're using. Webflow often updates its features and interface, so following outdated tutorials may lead to inconsistencies or issues. Additionally, double-check that the elements you're adding are correctly placed within the hierarchy of the page, as improper nesting can affect the layout.

By following these steps, you should be able to successfully place your main product on the home page of your Webflow site. Good luck!
