Yes, there is a way to dynamically update the number of courses displayed in each category on your homepage using a CMS Collection grid in Webflow. By using conditional visibility settings and pagination controls, you can achieve this dynamic functionality. Here's a step-by-step guide:

Create a CMS Collection for your courses:

Go to the CMS tab in the Webflow Designer.
Click on "Add Collection" and give your collection a name (e.g., Courses).
Add the necessary fields for your courses, such as Title, Category, Description, etc.

Design your homepage:

In the Webflow Designer, create a Collection List element where you want to display your courses.
Link the Collection List to your Courses Collection.
Design the layout of your Collection List Item to display the course information.

Set up conditional visibility:

Select the Collection List.
In the Collection List Settings panel, click on the "Add Conditional Visibility" button.
Choose the field that corresponds to the category you want to filter by (e.g., Category).
Set the condition to display only the courses with a specific category.

Set up pagination controls:

Create two buttons or links: "Load More" and "Show Less" (optional).
In the Page Settings panel, enable Pagination.
Set the number of items per page to the maximum number of courses you want to display initially.
Connect the "Load More" button/link to the pagination control "Next" action.
Connect the "Show Less" button/link to the pagination control "Previous" action (optional).

Style and customize:

Customize the design of your Collection List, Collection List Item, and pagination controls to match your website's style.
Add hover effects, animations, or any other customizations you desire.

By following these steps, you can dynamically update the number of courses displayed in each category on your homepage using a CMS Collection grid in Webflow. The conditional visibility settings allow you to show/hide courses based on their category, while the pagination controls give you control over how many courses are displayed at a time.
