Yes, it is possible to create a comparison table using collection lists in Webflow. Here's how you can do it:

  1. Set up your Collection: First, you need to set up a Collection in Webflow to store your comparison data. Create a Collection for your comparison table and add the necessary fields for each item you want to compare. For example, if you're comparing different smartphone models, you might have fields for "Name," "Price," "Camera Specs," "Battery Life," etc.

  2. Design your Comparison Table: Create a new page in Webflow and design your comparison table. You can use a regular HTML table structure or use custom divs to create your own table layout. Style your table to match your design requirements.

  3. Add a Collection List: Insert a Collection List element into your table structure. This element will allow you to dynamically pull in the data from your Collection.

  4. Connect the Collection List to your Collection: In the Collection List settings panel, connect the Collection List to your comparison Collection. Choose the Collection you created in step 1.

  5. Add Collection List items: Within the Collection List element, add the components that you want to display for each item in your comparison table. For example, you can add Text elements to display the "Name," "Price," "Camera Specs," etc. for each item.

  6. Bind Collection List items to Collection fields: Bind each element within the Collection List to its corresponding Collection field. This will populate the table with the data from your Collection.

  7. Style the Collection List elements: Style the elements within the Collection List to match your design requirements. You can use Webflow's built-in styling options or add custom CSS if needed.

  8. Publish your site: Once you're satisfied with your comparison table, publish your site to make it live.

Now, when you add items to your Collection, they will automatically populate in your comparison table. You can easily update or add new items to your Collection, and your table will dynamically display the changes.
