How Do I Make Two Columns in Webflow?

Creating two columns in Webflow can help you achieve a cleaner and more organized layout for your website. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of creating two columns using HTML and CSS in Webflow. So let’s get started!

Step 1: Setting up the HTML Structure

To create two columns, we need to start by setting up our HTML structure. We will use the <div> element to create the container for our columns. Inside this container, we will create two separate <div> elements to represent each column.

Let’s take a look at the code:

<div class="container">
  <div class="column">
    <p>Content for Column 1 goes here</p>
  </div>
  
  <div class="column">
    <p>Content for Column 2 goes here</p>
  </div>
</div>

In the above code, we have created a <div class="container"> element as our main container. Inside this container, we have two <div class="column"> elements which represent our two columns.

Step 2: Styling the Columns with CSS

Now that we have set up our HTML structure, let’s move on to styling the columns using CSS. We will use CSS flexbox to achieve a responsive and flexible layout.

.container {
  display: flex;
}column {
  flex: 1;
}

In the CSS code above, we have selected the .container class and set its display property to flex. This allows the container to arrange its children elements (columns) in a row.

Next, we have selected the .column class and set its flex property to 1. This makes both columns grow equally and take up an equal amount of space within the container.

Step 3: Adding Content to the Columns

Now that we have our HTML structure and CSS styling in place, we can add content to each column. You can add any type of content you want, such as text, images, or even other HTML elements.

<div class="container">
  <div class="column">
    <h3>Column 1</h3>
    <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.</p>
    <ul>
      <li>Item 1</li>
      <li>Item 2</li>
      <li>Item 3</li>
    </ul>
  </div>

  <div class="column">
    <h3>Column 2</h3>
    <p>Sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.</p>
    <b><a href="#">Click here</a></b> for more information.
  </div>
</div>

In the code above, we have added some sample content to each column. In Column 1, we have added a heading (<h3>), a paragraph (<p>), and a list (<ul> and <li>). In Column 2, we have added another heading, paragraph, and a bold link using the <b> element.

Step 4: Customizing the Styling

You can further customize the styling of your columns by adding CSS properties such as background color, padding, margin, font size, etc. You can also add additional classes or IDs to Target specific columns or elements within the columns.column {
flex: 1;
background-color: #f2f2f2;
padding: 20px;
margin: 10px;
}

In this CSS code snippet, we have added some basic styling to the .column class. We set a background color of #f2f2f2 (light gray), added some padding and margins to create spacing between the columns.

Conclusion:

Congratulations! You have successfully created two columns in Webflow using HTML and CSS. By following these steps and customizing the styling as per your requirement, you can create visually appealing and organized layouts for your website.
