To link specific projects with their respective case studies using Webflow's CMS collections, you can follow these steps:

  1. Set up your CMS collections:
  • Create a collection for your projects and another for your case studies.
  • Add the necessary fields to each collection, such as title, description, images, etc.
  1. Link the collections:
  • In the projects collection, create a reference field that links to the case studies collection.
  • This reference field will allow you to select the respective case study for each project.
  1. Create dynamic lists and pages:

  • Within the dynamic list, you can display the project's details and create a link to the respective case study page.
  1. Design the case study page:
  • Create a dynamic page for the case studies collection.
  • Set up the page layout and design, including any related elements, such as title, description, images, etc.
  • Use the reference field from the projects collection to display the details of the linked project on the case study page.
  1. Link the project and case study pages:
  • Within the dynamic list on the project listing page, create a link block that directs users to the respective case study page.
  • Use the collection item's unique identifier (slug or ID) to populate the URL for each case study page dynamically.
  1. Style and customize the pages:
  • Customize the design of the project listing page and case study page to match your desired aesthetic and branding.
  • Utilize Webflow's design tools and CSS styling options to make your pages visually appealing.
