Adding more columns in Webflow is a great way to create dynamic and visually appealing web pages. With the flexibility of the Webflow designer, you can easily customize your layout to include multiple columns. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the step-by-step process of adding more columns in Webflow.
Step 1: Creating a New Section
To add more columns, we first need to create a new section in our Webflow project. A section acts as a container for our content and helps organize the layout.
- Click on the Add (+) button located on the left-hand side panel.
- Select ‘Section’ from the list of available elements.
- Drag and drop the section element wherever you want it on your page.
Step 2: Adding Columns to the Section
Now that we have our section in place, let’s add some columns to it. Columns allow us to divide our section into multiple sections horizontally, creating a grid-like structure.
Add Columns Using Grid Mode:
- Select the section by clicking on it.
- In the right-hand side panel, under ‘Layout’, click on ‘Grid’.
- Note: If you don’t see ‘Grid’, make sure you have selected the section element correctly.
- In the grid settings, specify the number of columns you want by adjusting the ‘Columns’ slider or entering a value manually in the input field.
Add Columns Using Flexbox Mode:
- Select the section by clicking on it.
- In the right-hand side panel, under ‘Layout’, click on ‘Flexbox’.
- Note: If you don’t see ‘Flexbox’, make sure you have selected the section element correctly.
- In the flex settings, specify the number of columns you want by adjusting the ‘Columns’ slider or entering a value manually in the input field.
Step 3: Customizing Column Width and Alignment
Now that we have our columns set up, let’s customize their width and alignment. This will help us achieve the desired layout for our web page.
Customize Column Width:
- Select a column by clicking on it.
- In the right-hand side panel, under ‘Size’, adjust the ‘Width’ slider or enter a value manually in the input field to set the desired width for your column.
Customize Column Alignment:
- Select a column by clicking on it.
- In the right-hand side panel, under ‘Alignment’, choose whether you want your column to be aligned to the left, center, or right of its container.
Step 4: Adding Content to Columns
Now that we have our columns set up and customized, let’s add content to them. You can add any element inside each column, such as text, images, buttons, or even nested elements like lists or forms. Here’s how:
- Select a column by clicking on it.
- Drag and drop the desired element from the left-hand side panel into the column.
- Note: You can repeat this process for each column, adding different elements as needed.
Step 5: Styling and Fine-Tuning
Once you have added content to your columns, you can further style and fine-tune the layout to make it visually engaging. Use the various styling options available in Webflow’s designer to customize colors, fonts, spacing, and more. Experiment with different combinations until you achieve the desired look and feel for your web page.
Congratulations! You have successfully added more columns in Webflow.
By following these steps, you can create multi-column layouts that enhance the visual appeal of your website. Remember to save your work and preview it in different devices to ensure responsiveness across various screen sizes. Happy designing!
