To present the image of every item in a big display next to a collection list in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Set up a Collection List: Begin by creating a collection list that will display the items you want to showcase. Make sure to include an image field in your collection so that you can display the images of each item.

  2. Design the Collection List layout: Customize the appearance of your collection list using Webflow's design tools. You can adjust the grid or layout settings, apply styling to the text and background, add spacing, or anything else to ensure it matches your design vision.

  3. Add a Div Block: Place a Div Block next to your collection list. This div block will hold the big display for each item's image.

  4. Design the Div Block layout: Customize the appearance of the Div Block to create the desired layout for the big display. You can adjust the height, width, background color, add padding or margin, and apply any other CSS styles.

  5. Connect the Div Block to the Collection List: With the Div Block selected, go to the Settings panel on the right-hand side of the Webflow Designer. Under the Collection section, select the collection list you want to connect to your Div Block. This will populate the Div Block with the collection items' data.

  6. Display the image: Drag and drop an Image element inside the Div Block. Then, click on the image element, go to the Settings panel, and choose the image field from your collection that contains the item's image. This will display the image of each item within the big display next to the collection list.

  7. Customize the image display: Use Webflow's styling options to adjust the image's size, position, styling, or apply any desired effects like hover interactions or animations.

  8. Repeat for each item: Duplicate the Div Block and image element for each item in your collection list. This will ensure that the big display next to the collection list shows the image of every item.

  9. Test and Publish: Once you have set up the display and customized the design to your liking, preview and test your website to ensure that the images are being displayed correctly. Make any necessary adjustments and then publish your website for the changes to take effect.

By following these steps, you can present the image of every item in a big display next to a collection list in Webflow. This allows you to create an engaging and visually appealing presentation of your collection items.
