How Do I Put Elements Side by Side in Webflow?

Are you wondering how to put elements side by side in Webflow? Look no further!

In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process step by step. So, let’s dive in and learn how to create visually engaging layouts using Webflow’s powerful features.

Step 1: Create a Container

To begin, we need to create a container for our elements. The container will act as a wrapper that holds the elements together.

We can do this by using a div element with a class name of “container”. Here’s an example:

  <div class="container">
    
  </div>

Step 2: Add Elements Inside the Container

Now that we have our container set up, we can start adding elements inside it. Let’s say we want to put two elements side by side, such as an image and a text block. We can achieve this by using two div elements with appropriate classes.

  <div class="left-column">
    <img src="your-image.jpg" alt="Your Image">
  </div>

  <div class="right-column">
    <p>Your text goes here</p>
  </div>

In the above example, we have created two separate div elements with classes “left-column” and “right-column”. This will allow us to style each element individually.

Step 3: Apply CSS Flexbox or Grid

Now that we have our elements inside the container, it’s time to align them side by side. There are two popular methods to achieve this: CSS Flexbox and CSS Grid.

Using CSS Flexbox

If you want a simple and flexible way to put elements side by side, CSS Flexbox is a great choice. To use Flexbox, apply the following CSS properties to your container:

  .container {
    display: flex;
  }

This will automatically arrange the child elements inside the container horizontally.

Using CSS Grid

If you prefer a more grid-like approach for placing elements side by side, you can use CSS Grid. To use Grid, apply the following CSS properties to your container:

  .container {
    display: grid;
    grid-template-columns: repeat(2, 1fr);
    grid-gap: 20px;
  }

In this example, we have set up a grid with two columns using the grid-template-columns property. The grid-gap property adds a gap between the columns.

Step 4: Style and Customize

Now that our elements are placed side by side, we can style them as desired. Apply CSS styles to the individual element classes (“left-column” and “right-column”) or directly Target the specific elements within those classes.

Bold Text: Use the  tag to make text bold. For example: Your text goes here
Underlined Text: Use the  tag to underline text.
For example: Your text goes here

Lists: Use the <ul> and <li> tags to create unordered lists. For example:

      <ul>
        <li>Item 1</li>
        <li>Item 2</li>
        <li>Item 3</li>
      </ul>

You can further enhance your layout by adding more elements, adjusting margins, padding, colors, and applying additional styles using CSS.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have now learned how to put elements side by side in Webflow using CSS Flexbox or CSS Grid. By following these steps and applying HTML styling elements such as bold text, underlined text, lists, and subheaders appropriately, you can create visually engaging and organized layouts for your web projects.

Remember to experiment with different styles and techniques to achieve the desired look and feel. Happy designing!
