How to Create and Style Lists in Webflow

August 29, 2024

Creating and styling lists in Webflow is a straightforward process that can significantly improve the structure and readability of your content. Here is a step-by-step guide to help you create and customize ordered and unordered lists to fit your website's design.

Step 1: Open your Webflow project by logging into your account and selecting the desired project.

Step 2: Access the design interface by clicking on the "Designer" button. This is where you will make all content and design changes.

Step 3: Add a text block to your page to create a list. In the left sidebar, click on the "Add" panel (the plus icon). Navigate to the "Typography" section and drag a "Text Block" to your desired location on the canvas.

Step 4: To create an unordered list, click into the text block to edit its content. Type your list items, pressing "Enter" after each item. Once you have listed your items, highlight the text, and click on the bullet list icon in the text formatting options that appear in the top right corner. Your items should now appear as a bulleted list.

Step 5: To create an ordered list, click into the text block and start typing your items, pressing "Enter" after each. Highlight the text of your items and click on the numbered list icon in the formatting options at the top.

Step 6: Customize the list style to match your website's design. Click on the list to select it, and then use the "Style" panel in the right sidebar to adjust the font, size, color, spacing, and line height. You can also change the color of the bullets or numbers and adjust the margin for more space between the items. For more customization, use custom CSS by creating a class for your list and adding specific styles.

Step 7: Preview your work by clicking on the "Preview" button at the top. This allows you to see how your lists appear on the live site and make any necessary adjustments before publishing.

Step 8: Publish your changes by clicking the "Publish" button in the upper right corner to update your live site.

Tips for effective list creation include keeping list items concise, using consistent styling for a uniform look, and incorporating icons or images for added visual interest when appropriate. Experiment with different styles and layouts to find what works best for your site. Happy designing!
