Before adding a gallery, you need to create a collection in Webflow. Collections allow you to store and manage multiple items that will be displayed in your gallery. To create a collection, follow these steps:

  3. Click on “Collections” and then on “Add Collection”.
  4. Name your collection and add any necessary fields (e.g., image, title, description).
  5. Save your collection.

Step 2: Design Your Gallery Page

To display your collection items as a gallery on a specific page, you need to design the page layout. Follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to the desired page where you want to add the gallery.
  2. Add a new section or choose an existing one where you want the gallery to appear.
  3. Select the section and click on the “+” button inside it.
    • Select “Collection List” from the pop-up menu.
      • Select your collection from the dropdown.
      • Customize the layout and design of the collection list as per your preference.
  4. Save your changes.

Step 3: Publish Your Gallery

Once you have designed your gallery page, it’s time to publish it and make it live. Follow these steps:

  1. In the Webflow Designer, click on the “Publish” button in the top-right corner.
  2. Review your changes and click on “Publish” once you are ready.
  3. Your gallery is now live!
