How can I create a slider on mobile where cards turn into slides, using Webflow?

TL;DR
  • Add a Slider Component in Webflow and place Card elements inside each slide.
  • Keep the grid/flexbox layout for cards on desktop and hide the slider at larger breakpoints.
  • On tablet/mobile, hide the grid layout and show the slider, ensuring each slide contains one card.
  • Adjust slider settings (auto-play, transition speed, navigation controls) for a smooth experience.
  • Test responsiveness in Webflow’s preview mode to ensure seamless transitions between layouts.

To create a slider on mobile where cards turn into slides in Webflow, you need to ensure that your card layout changes to a slider at smaller breakpoints. Follow these steps:

1. Add a Slider Component

  • Go to the Add panel in Webflow.
  • Drag a Slider into your desired section.

2. Structure Your Slide Content

  • Inside the Slider, Webflow automatically adds two slides by default.
  • In each Slide, place the same Card elements you have in a grid or flexbox layout on larger screens.

3. Adjust Layout for Desktop

  • On desktop, keep your cards displayed normally using a grid or flexbox.
  • Ensure the Slider stays hidden or unused at larger breakpoints.

4. Use Visibility or Display Settings for Mobile

  • At tablet and mobile breakpoints:
  • Hide the non-slider version of your cards (Set display: None).
  • Show the slider (Set display: Block or Flex).
  • Ensure that each slide contains only one card so it behaves like a real “carousel.”

5. Adjust Slider Settings for Mobile UX

  • Click the slider and go to the Element Settings panel.
  • Enable “Auto Play” if desired.
  • Adjust transition speed for smooth animation.
  • Ensure arrows or dots are visible for navigation.

6. Test Responsiveness

  • Use Webflow’s preview mode to test how it looks across devices.
  • Manually resize the window to ensure the switch between grid layout (desktop) and slider mode (mobile) works as expected.

Summary

Use a Webflow Slider and display it only on mobile breakpoints while hiding the grid layout. Each slide should contain one card to mimic a proper swipeable UI. Test responsiveness to ensure a smooth transition.
