To create a CMS collection in Webflow with a rich text element underneath an image, you can follow these steps:

Create a Collection: In the Webflow Designer, go to the CMS tab and click on "Add Collection". Give your collection a name and configure the necessary fields (e.g., Image, Rich Text).
Add Image Field: In the Collection Editor, click on "Add Field" and select "Image". Configure the image field to suit your needs (e.g., specify dimensions, alignment).
Add Rich Text Field: Similarly, click on "Add Field" again, but this time select "Rich Text". Configure the rich text field based on your requirements (e.g., font size, color, alignment).
Design Your Collection Item Template: In the Designer, go to the Collection Pages section and click on "Design Collection Template". Construct the layout for your collection item page, including the image and rich text elements.
Bind Image Field: Drag the Image element from the Add panel onto your collection item template. Select the image field you created in the Collection Editor to bind it to the Image element.
Bind Rich Text Field: Drag the Rich Text element onto the template and bind it to the rich text field you established in the Collection Editor.
Style and Format: Customize the appearance of the image and rich text elements using Webflow's styling options. Adjust properties such as spacing, typography, and colors to match your design.
Publish and Populate: Once you are satisfied with your design, publish your site and populate your collection with images and content. You can do this through the CMS Editor or by importing bulk data if needed.

By following these steps, you will have successfully created a CMS collection in Webflow with a rich text element placed underneath an image. This is a powerful feature that allows you to easily manage and display dynamic content on your website.
