This is EXACTLY what we were looking for. Really well explained, perfectly demonstrated. Thank you!

[@fabric.iocosta]

So well explained, Sam! Thank you!

[@favouraderemi1933]

Very simple to understand.. I been having issues understanding CMS, this has made it clear

[@safsafaf2838]

so far the best CMS Webflow tutorial I have watched. Simple, short and well explained! Definitely deserves like & subscribe! Thank you!!

[@sam-harrison]

Thanks very much 😊

[@SamuelHq]

Thank you Sam! I can say this is the most straightforward Webflow CMS tutorial I've ever come across. Been loving your content since you started this channel🥳🥳🥳🥳 Please don't stop making easy tutorials like this.

[@sam-harrison]

Thanks Samuel! And thanks for watching 👍

[@poppingjaz]

Thank you Sam. This seems easier that ACF, though probably not as powerful as Crocoblocks but that’s a premium platform. Glad someone demonstrated something other than a blog in Webflow

[@YunusEmreSevuk]

Hi, the video is very helpful. Well, I did not understand the part in last part, can you give us some information on how to link the pages?

[@the_end_boss]

Nice explanation mate! Like your mic; very clear and easy to listen to for the duration of the tutorial. 🙂

[@sam-harrison]

Thanks dude! 👍

[@MrGnorts]

This is the exact video I've been looking for, for months! Many thanks! btw, I'm having a problem with the images. They aren't all the same size and have different spaces between each other because of it. Please help. edit: the images I used were of varying sizes. 3 were roughly 600 x 700 px and the last one was 1150 x 600 px nother edit: also, when adding more items, the page makes the existing items closer together and smaller, instead of growing bigger and making me scroll more

Damnn helpful.. thank you!

[@danielboes]

Amazing video 🤩 if I would not be a student I would buy your course

[@sam-harrison]

DM me on twitter Daniel I may be able to help 👍🏻 @samharrisonco

[@Alexander-cd9zx]

Im wondering how would you change the pictures inside the card? Would you maybe add a slider or something else? And instead of adding a text field for room numbers, would you use a custom field for numbers?

[@71co0k]

Great video, thanks. What if I wanted those cards to be populated with location data (and image) from an API? Would I need to integrate some additional backend no code tool?

[@sam-harrison]

Thanks dude! And yes it’s possible, worth having a look at Webflow’s api docs developers.webflow.com/reference/designer-api-reference

[@MarcosRobertMoreno]

Hey Sam, What about a cms slider of multiple images?? Thanks

[@anishchopra]

Love your videos. I am also taking your course on Skillshare. Why does your booking link on Calendly not work though?

[@sam-harrison]

Thanks Anish I need to update that link! Thanks for letting me know 👍

How to make life simple! Thank you.

[@wyattbillingsley6844]

Do you have the tutorial coming on how to create a CMS input page to populate the CMS client side?

[@sam-harrison]

I'll add it to the list! although the process is very similar to the designer view 👍

[@diegoriveira3579]

Great tutorial. I learned something new today. My question now is... What if I build a website like this for a listing broker who doesn't have skills in web flow. Can I have the same form for creating a listing in a user-facing way? Like he. logs in to the website as a user and adds the listing in. the front-end and saves it under. his account?

[@chauncollins7616]

Need this answer too

[@sam-harrison]

Hi Diego, yes webflow comes with an editor feature for the client to enter in cms data, which in this case would be house listings. Then once they've entered in this data a page for that house will automatically be created. So the editor allows the client to update house listings without having to touch the designer. Hope that helps 👍

[@chauncollins7616]

@@sam-harrison Thank you for responding….to continue the conversation, my question would be how would I allow my client to do this? Would I have to give them access to my editor backend on webflow or could I create a webpage for them to change everything on their front page?

[@sam-harrison]

Hi Chaun, Webflows editor feature is designed for clients so you'd let them have access to this in order to add cms items on the back end and it also has a front end editor too where they can change text and images but not layout etc. Here's a video from Webflow showing this kzbin.info/www/bejne/qmjQoKR_o9CrpZY

[@chauncollins7616]

@@sam-harrison thank you all review the link you sent, hopefully it’ll give me better perspective. Thank you for taking the time to answer my question! Edit: ok I watched the video and I have this question, when you create the cms content is the “editor” page automatically created; and does it come with webflow branding?

[@lambisstratoudakis]

Maybe i have missed. but how we click to go to the individual item and then back to the collection?

[@sam-harrison]

Hey dude, I think I mention from about here 22.23 👍

[@crooker2]

I'm a fan of the cms functionality. Coupled with F'nsweet's filters and free scripts, the cms in webflow is very powerful. Not perfect... But quite good. They do need to add a few more field types in collections though...

[@rmcellig]

More field types would be great!!!

[@diegoriveira3579]

Also, I followed your tutorial and built a similar grid with properties etc. but on clicking on each of these tiles it doesn't take me to the full listing page? Should I do something about it like add action?

[@sam-harrison]

Hey dude, you need to house your listing items inside a link block and then link it to wherever you want to go 👍

[@diegoriveira3579]

@@sam-harrison Bingo, i figured that out with your help! Thank you!

[@asumi6129]

How can I exclude some elements from a specific project? For example I use videos on 4 projects but on my 5th project I don't have the video so I just want to add images. If I add them they will show on other projects too or if I remove the video element, I will remove it on other projects...any help?

[@sam-harrison]

Hi Asumi, I would probably use conditional visibility, that way it'll only show based on the instructions you set 👍

[@rmcellig]

Excellent! My only concern was that for me, you were going a bit too fast. I'm still learning webflow so slower would have been better for me. Other than that, your video taught me a great deal about what I am about to do with my impending site. 😀

[@sam-harrison]

Thanks dude! I'll try and slow down 👍

[@rmcellig]

@@sam-harrison it's just that because I'm on chemo I have what's called chemo brain so it's hard for me to understand things. I'm really excited to switch from WordPress to webflow. I have my jazz radio shows I have been hosting since 1988. It looks like CMS is the answer. I just have to enter my shows into an excel document and then export import in CSV format. From there I might need help designing my simple layout. Your video helped a lot. It's just a matter of familiarizing myself with the design options. Thanks again!!! I have been watching the webflow university videos as well as any other videos I can watch as well. 😀
