Can I create an uneven grid layout using a CMS collection in Webflow?

Yes, you can create an uneven grid layout using a CMS collection in Webflow. While Webflow's grid system is typically based on even column widths, you can still achieve an uneven grid layout by combining different elements or using custom code.

Here's one approach to achieving an uneven grid layout using a CMS collection in Webflow:

Step 1: Set up your CMS collection
Create a collection in Webflow and define the required fields for your content. For example, you might have fields like an image, title, description, and category.

Step 2: Design your grid container
Drag a div block onto your page and set it as the container for your grid layout. Apply styles to the container as desired, such as setting a maximum width or adding padding. This container will hold your grid items.

Step 3: Design your grid items
Inside the grid container, add a CMS collection list element from the Add Panel and connect it to your CMS collection. Customize the layout of the list items using flexbox or grid properties. This is where you can create an uneven grid layout.

Step 4: Style your CMS collection list items
Design the layout and styles for each CMS collection item within the collection list. You can add elements like images, text, buttons, or any other content that you want to display for each item.

Step 5: Sort and filter your CMS collection
If you want to further organize your CMS collection items, you can add sort and filter options to your collection list. This allows you to control the order and display of the items in your grid layout.

Step 6: Customize the layout for each CMS collection item
To achieve an uneven grid layout, you have a few options. One option is to adjust the layout of individual CMS collection items within the collection list. For example, you can set different widths, heights, or positions for specific items.

Step 7: Add custom code if needed
If the customization options within Webflow's designer do not fully meet your requirements, you can use custom code to fine-tune the layout. You can apply custom CSS classes to specific grid items and write code to target and modify those items directly.

By following these steps, you can create an uneven grid layout using a CMS collection in Webflow. This provides you with the flexibility to organize and display your content in unique and visually appealing ways.
