How to create a responsive carousel in Webflow?

Step 1: Create a New Project

  1. Open Webflow and log in to the dashboard.
  2. Click the "New Project" button to get started.
  3. Pick a template or start fresh.

Step 2: Design the Page Structure

  1. Drag a "Section" element from the Elements panel onto the canvas to add a new section.
  2. Inside that section, drop a "Container" element to keep the carousel centered and responsive.

Step 3: Add the Slider Component

  1. Drag the "Slider" component from the Elements panel into the container.
  2. Click on the slider to open its settings in the Settings panel.

Step 4: Configure the Slider

  1. Adjust the number of slides by clicking the "Add Slide" button or deleting slides as needed.
  2. Set the slide transition settings like easing, duration, and auto-play in the "Settings" panel.
  3. Check the "Auto-play slides" box if you want automatic transitions.

Step 5: Design Each Slide

  1. Click on the first slide within the slider to start designing.
  2. Add elements like images, text, and buttons within the slide as needed.
  3. Repeat this for each slide, making sure each one has the content you want.

Step 6: Make the Carousel Responsive

  1. Switch to different viewport sizes (Desktop, Tablet, Mobile Landscape, Mobile Portrait) using the viewport icons at the top of the designer.
  2. Adjust the size, padding, margin, and layout of the slider and its contents for each viewport size to make sure it looks good on all devices.
  3. Use Flexbox or Grid layout settings as needed to optimize layout adjustments.

Step 7: Test the Carousel

  1. Preview the project by clicking the eye icon at the top of the Designer to check the responsiveness and functionality of the carousel.
  2. Navigate through the slides to ensure smooth transitions and correct display of content on all devices.

Step 8: Publish Your Project
