What is the best way to position an image beside text in a container using Webflow?

TL;DR
  • Use a Div Block with Display set to Flex and Direction set to Horizontal (Row).
  • Add an Image and Text element inside the container, adjust widths and spacing, and switch to a vertical layout on smaller screens for responsiveness.

To position an image beside text in a container using Webflow, you can use a flexbox layout to arrange the two elements side by side.

1. Add a Container or Section

  • Drag in a Section from the Add panel.
  • Inside the Section, add a Div Block. This will act as the container for your image and text.

2. Set the Div Block to Flex

  • Select the Div Block that contains the image and text.
  • Go to the Style panel, scroll to Layout, and choose Display: Flex.
  • Set the Direction to Horizontal (Row) to place items side by side.

3. Add Image and Text Elements

  • Drag an Image element into the flex container.
  • Then drag a Text Block, Paragraph, or Heading next to the image within the same flex container.

4. Adjust Flex Child Settings if Needed

  • Select each child (image and text) and adjust sizing:
  • Set Width to Auto for natural sizing.
  • Or apply percentage widths (e.g., 40% image, 60% text) as needed.
  • Use Margins or Padding to add spacing between the image and text.

5. Make It Responsive

  • On smaller breakpoints (tablet, mobile), adjust the flex direction to Vertical (Column) if needed to stack the image above the text.
  • You can also reduce image size or text size to fit smaller screens.

Summary

To place an image beside text in Webflow, use a flexbox layout with horizontal direction. Place the image and text inside a flex container, then adjust widths and spacing for alignment and responsiveness.
