Is it possible to create a slider with multiple collection lists on the home page in Webflow, containing 2 slides with 3 collection lists (blogs) on each slide?
TL;DR
Yes, you can create a slider with multiple collection lists in Webflow by using the native Slider element and structuring the slides to contain different Collection Lists. Below are the steps to achieve this.
1. Add the Slider Element
- Drag the Slider component from the Add panel onto your homepage.
- By default, Webflow includes two slides, but you can add or remove slides as needed.
2. Add Collection Lists to Each Slide
- Inside Slide 1, add three Collection Lists (one for each blog category you want to display).
- Repeat the same within Slide 2.
3. Connect Collection Lists to CMS
- For each Collection List, bind it to a different CMS collection (e.g., Blog Posts, News, Case Studies).
- Set up Collection List settings such as item count, sorting, and filtering as needed.
4. Style and Layout the Collection Lists
- Wrap each Collection List in Div Blocks to maintain structure.
- Use Flexbox or Grid to align the Collection Lists properly within the slides.
5. Configure Slider Settings
- Select the Slider and adjust settings like auto-play, delay time, and animation duration.
- Enable or disable pagination and navigation arrows based on preference.
6. Publish and Test
- Preview the slider in Webflow to ensure the Collection Lists display correctly.
- Check responsiveness and adjust styles for different breakpoints.
Summary
You can create a slider with multiple Collection Lists by adding a Webflow Slider component and placing three CMS Collection Lists inside each slide. Ensure each list is connected to the appropriate CMS collection, style appropriately, and test before publishing.
