Aligning Various-Sized Client Logos Using Grid or Flex in Webflow

Designing a professional and clean layout for client logos on a website ensures visual appeal and uniformity across various devices. Webflow, with its flexible design capabilities, provides powerful tools like Grid and Flexbox to align logos of different sizes effectively. This guide offers a detailed step-by-step approach to achieving a neat logo layout in Webflow using both Grid and Flexbox.

 

Prerequisites

 

• An active Webflow account and basic understanding of the Webflow Designer interface.
• A Webflow project where you want to incorporate the logo layout.
• A collection of client logos ready for upload and design implementation.
• Basic knowledge of CSS, especially in using Flexbox and Grid Layout properties.

 

Understanding the Design Requirements

 

• Start by analyzing the visual requirements, including the number of logos and desired logo size.
• Decide whether to use a Grid or Flex layout based on the content's nature (fixed or dynamic placement).
• Consider the responsiveness of the layout across different devices (desktop, tablet, mobile).

 

Setting Up the Project for Logo Alignment

 

• Log in to your Webflow account and open your project where the logos will be displayed.
• Navigate to the page where you want to add the logo section.
• Create a new Section for the logos to keep them organized and separate from other page content.

 

Using Flexbox for Logo Alignment in Webflow

 

A. Creating a Flex Container

• Inside your newly created Section, insert a Div Block. This will serve as your Flex Container.
• Select the Div Block and go to the Styles Panel.
• Set the Display property to Flex.
• Choose Horizontal for direction if you want logos in a row, or Vertical if in a column.
• Adjust Justify to Center to align logos centrally within the container.
• Set Align items to Center to vertically center the logos.

 

B. Adding Client Logos

• Drag and drop Image Elements into the Flex Container for each client logo.
• Upload and select the corresponding logo for each Image Element.
• To ensure consistency, apply the same width and height to each Image within the Styles Panel. This can be done using the Size section.

 

C. Ensuring Responsiveness

• Switch to different breakpoints (Tablet, Mobile Landscape, Mobile Portrait) using the top control bar to ensure your Flex layout adjusts correctly.
• For smaller screens, consider changing the Flex direction to Vertical or wrapping logos using Wrap Children.

 

Using Grid for Logo Alignment in Webflow

 

A. Creating a Grid Layout

• Go back to your Section and insert a Grid.
• With the Grid selected, navigate to the Styles Panel and customize the number of rows and columns according to the number of logos you have.
• Set Row Height and Column Width based on the desired look and feel.
• Use Grid lines and Gaps for spacing adjustments between logos.

 

B. Placing Client Logos into the Grid

• Insert Image Elements directly into each Grid cell.
• Upload and assign logos to these Image Elements.
• Like Flexbox, maintain uniform size across images for a consistent appearance.

 

C. Adjusting for Responsive Design

• Check responsiveness by toggling through Webflow's breakpoints.
• Reconfigure the Grid's columns or rows on smaller screens to ensure a clean layout, possibly reducing the number of columns on smaller devices.

 

Finalizing and Publishing the Layout

• Review the setup to ensure all logos are correctly aligned and the layout is clean on all devices.
• Preview the page to see your final design in action by clicking the Preview button in the top bar.
• Once satisfied, publish your changes to the Webflow staging site or your custom domain.

 

By following these steps, you can successfully align various-sized client logos in Webflow using Grid or Flex. Choosing between a big Grid or a flexible Flexbox depends on the specific design requirements and the desired visual outcome on different devices. Both approaches offer powerful solutions for maintaining a professional and clean website presentation.
