How Do I Add a Product Filter in Webflow?

Are you looking to add a product filter to your Webflow website? Look no further!

In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of adding a product filter using HTML and CSS in Webflow. This handy feature will allow your visitors to easily sort and filter products based on different criteria, making their shopping experience more convenient.

Step 1: Setting up the HTML structure

The first step is to set up the HTML structure for your product filter. Start by creating a container div that will hold all the elements of the filter:

<div class="product-filter">
  
</div>

Next, let’s add some subheaders to organize our code:

Product Filter HTML Structure

<div class="product-filter">
  <h4>Filter by:</h4>
  <!-- Filter elements will go here -->
</div>

Now that we have our basic structure in place, let’s move on to adding the actual filter elements.

Step 2: Adding the filter options

To create the filter options, we’ll use a combination of checkboxes and labels. Each checkbox will represent a specific attribute or category that users can filter by.

Let’s add an unordered list (<ul>) element to hold our checkboxes:

<div class="product-filter">
  <h4>Filter by:</h4>
  <ul class="filter-options">
    <li>
      <input type="checkbox" id="option1" name="option1">
      <label for="option1">Option 1</label>
    </li>
    <li>
      <input type="checkbox" id="option2" name="option2">
      <label for="option2">Option 2</label>
    </li>
    
  </ul>
</div>

We have now added two filter options, “Option 1” and “Option 2”. You can add more options by duplicating the <li> block and updating the checkbox ID, name, and label text.

Step 3: Styling the filter

Now that we have our HTML structure and filter options in place, let’s style them using CSS to make them visually appealing. We’ll use classes to Target specific elements and apply custom styles.

To style our container div, add the following CSS:

.product-filter {
  background-color: #f5f5f5;
  padding: 20px;
}

To style the subheaders, use the following CSS:

h4 {
  font-weight: bold;
}

Lastly, let’s add some styles to our filter options:

.filter-options {
  list-style: none;
}filter-options li {
  margin-bottom: 10px;
}filter-options input[type="checkbox"] {
  margin-right: 5px;
}filter-options label {
  font-weight: bold;
}filter-options label:hover {
  text-decoration: underline;
}

Feel free to modify the styles according to your website’s design and branding.

Step 4: Implementing the filter functionality

Now that our product filter is set up and styled, we need to implement the filtering functionality using JavaScript or jQuery. This step goes beyond the scope of this HTML tutorial, but you can find numerous resources and tutorials online that will guide you through the process.
