In Webflow, you can achieve the effect of stretching a single column and row across multiple columns using the Multiple Image field in the CMS. However, keep in mind that the Multiple Image field is designed to display multiple images within separate containers, so stretching a single image across multiple columns and rows will require a workaround.
Here's a step-by-step approach to achieving this effect:
1. Create a grid layout: Start by setting up a grid layout for your CMS page. You can add as many rows and columns as needed to accommodate your design.
2. Add a Collection List: Place a Collection List element on your CMS page and connect it to your desired collection. This will allow you to display dynamic content pulled from the CMS.
3. Design your grid within the Collection List: Inside the Collection List, you can add a grid structure to display your images. Use Div blocks or Link blocks to create the necessary layout for your grid.
4. Add a Multiple Image field: Within the grid structure, insert a Multiple Image field from your CMS collection. This field will allow you to upload and associate multiple images with each CMS item.
5. Adjust sizing and positioning: By default, the Multiple Image field will create separate containers for each image. To stretch a single image across multiple columns and rows, you'll need to adjust the sizing and positioning of the image containers.
- Select the container for the image you want to stretch.
- Set its width and height to match the desired size of the stretched image.
- Adjust the positioning of the container within the grid to span across the desired columns and rows.
6. Style the stretched image: To make it visually cohesive, you'll need to style the stretched image container to appear as a single image. You can apply background images or use custom CSS to achieve the desired visual effect.
7. Repeat for other images: If you have additional images within the Multiple Image field that you want to display normally, you can use separate containers for each without adjusting their size or position.
By following these steps, you can simulate the effect of stretching a single image across multiple columns and rows using the Multiple Image block in the CMS. Remember to test and preview your design in different viewports to ensure it adapts responsively.
Note: Keep in mind that this approach may require custom CSS or additional interactions to achieve the exact effect you desire, depending on the complexity of your layout.
