To create a slider in Webflow with an active slide in the center and left and right slides on either side, you can follow these steps:

  1. Add a Slider component to your Webflow project:
  • Click on the plus icon in the top menu and choose "Slider" from the Components section.
  • Drag and drop the Slider component onto your desired section of the page.
  1. Customize the Slider settings:
  • In the Slider Settings panel, you can adjust various settings such as autoplay, transition duration, and navigation arrows.
  • You can also choose whether the slides should wrap around or stop at the first and last slides.
  1. Design your Slider slide:
  • Inside the Slider component, you will find a Slide element.
  • Customize the content, layout, and design of each slide by adding your desired elements (text, images, etc.) and styling them using Webflow's design tools.
  1. Position the slides:
  • To achieve the desired effect, you need to position the slides accordingly.
  • Select the Slide element and go to the Position tab in the Style panel.
  • Set the position to "relative" and adjust the left and right margins to create space between the slides.
  1. Adjust the active slide in the center:
  • By default, the active slide will be centered in the Slider.
  • Make sure to design the active slide with the desired layout and styling to create a distinct visual effect.
  1. Style the left and right slides:
  • To differentiate the left and right slides from the active slide, you can apply different styles to them.
  • For example, you can use different background colors, font styles, or image effects.
  1. Preview and publish your slider:
  • To see your slider in action, click the Preview button in the Webflow Designer.
  • If you're happy with the result, publish your project to make the slider live on your website.

By following these steps, you can create a slider in Webflow with an active slide in the center and left and right slides on either side. Remember to customize the styles and layout to match the design of your website.
