In Webflow, how can I add margins between columns in a column-based layout containing images, without affecting the left or right edges of the page and without carrying over to the mobile view where the images are stacked?

To add margins between columns in a column-based layout in Webflow without affecting the left or right edges of the page and without carrying over to the mobile view where the images are stacked, you can follow these steps:

  1. Select the container element that contains the columns.
  2. In the Element Settings panel on the right, click on the Grid tab.
  3. Under the Grid Layout section, you'll find options to define the grid columns and gaps.
  4. Set the desired number of columns in the Columns field.
  5. To add margins between the columns, you can use the Gap field. This will add equal margins between all columns.
  6. If you want to have different margins between specific columns, you can use a custom CSS approach.
  • Give each column a unique class name by selecting the column, going to the Settings panel, and adding a class in the Class field.

  • Then, go to the Custom Code section in the Site Settings.

  • Inside the <head> tag, add a <style> tag.

  • Use the class names you defined earlier to target specific columns and add custom margins. For example, if you want to add a margin of 20px to the second column, you can use the following CSS code:

       \`\`\`css   <style>   .column2 {     margin-left: 20px;   }   </style>   \`\`\`
  • Repeat this process for any other specific columns you want to add different margins to.

By following these steps, you can add margins between columns in a column-based layout in Webflow without affecting the left or right edges of the page and without carrying over to the mobile view where the images are stacked.
