Can I add space between columns in Webflow?

TL;DR
  • Use the Column Gap setting in Grid or Columns components to add spacing directly.
  • For Flexbox, apply margin, padding, or enable the gap property in the parent container.

Yes, you can add space between columns in Webflow using a few different methods depending on the layout system you're using (Grid, Flexbox, or Columns). Here's how to do it:

1. Using Webflow Grid Layout

  • Select the grid container in your design.
  • In the Style panel, look for Column Gap and Row Gap under the Grid settings.
  • Increase the Column Gap value to add space between columns.
  • You can set both pixel (px) or percentage (%) values.

2. Using Flexbox Layout

  • If you're using Flexbox, Webflow doesn't have an automatic column gap option.
  • Use one of the following methods:
  • Add margin-right to all columns (except the last one).
  • Apply negative margin to the parent container and equal positive padding on child elements to create consistent gaps.
  • Use gap in flex parent (supported in browsers and available in Webflow’s newer layout engine).

3. Using Built-In Columns Component

  • If using Webflow's default Columns element:
  • Select the columns container.
  • In the Style panel, adjust the Column Gap to your desired spacing.
  • Make sure equal spacing is applied in both desktop and responsive views.

4. Manual Spacing

  • Another universal method is to add padding or margin directly to the column elements.
  • Ensure consistent spacing by using Combo Classes for each column if needed.
  • Preview the layout at different breakpoints to verify responsiveness.

Summary

To add space between columns in Webflow, use the Column Gap property in Grid or Columns components, or manually adjust margins, padding, or Flexbox gap if you're using Flexbox. The best method depends on your layout structure.
