How can I design an empty state in Webflow that will show if no results are found in my CMS filtering for a podcast?

To design an empty state in Webflow that will appear when no results are found in your CMS filtering for a podcast, you can follow these steps:

1. Create a CMS Collection:

• Go to the CMS Collections panel in the Webflow Designer.
• Click on the +Create New Collection button.
• Name the collection (e.g., "Podcasts") and add the necessary fields (e.g., "Title", "Description", etc.) that you want to display in each podcast entry.
• Save the collection.

1. Design the Empty State:

• In the Webflow Designer, select the element where the podcast results will appear or the container that surrounds the results.
• Create a conditional visibility by adding a new rule. Choose the CMS collection that you created earlier.
• Set the condition to display the empty state when there are no podcast items in the collection.

1. Add Empty State Content:

• Inside the conditional visibility settings, add the elements and design that you want to show when no podcast results are found.
• This could include a heading (e.g., "No results found"), a description, and perhaps a call-to-action button inviting users to explore other sections or perform a different search.
• Use Webflow's styling options to make it visually appealing, ensuring the empty state stands out but still fits seamlessly within your overall design.

1. Publish and Test:

• Save your changes and publish your Webflow site.
• Test the empty state by performing a search in the CMS collection filter that you set up for podcasts.
• If no results are found, the empty state design you created should be displayed.

By designing an empty state, you provide users with a clear visual indication that no results are found, reducing frustration and helping them navigate properly within your website.
