How can I create a table in Webflow without the use of any third-party tools or integrations?

TL;DR
  • Use Div Blocks with CSS Grid to manually build the table structure in Webflow.
  • Add and style individual cells using classes, and adjust grid settings for responsive behavior.

To create a table in Webflow without using third-party tools, you'll need to manually construct it using Webflow's native layout tools, such as Div Blocks and CSS Grid or Flexbox.

1. Plan Your Table Structure

  • Decide on the number of columns and rows you need.
  • Sketch or outline your table layout: Header row, body rows, and optional footer.

2. Use a CSS Grid Layout

  • Drag a Section into your page.
  • Inside it, add a Div Block and give it a class like table-wrapper.
  • With the table-wrapper Div selected, go to the Style panel and:
  • Set Display: Grid.
  • Define the number of columns (e.g., 3 Columns for a 3-column table).
  • Use Auto for row generation; rows will be created as needed.

3. Add Cell Blocks

  • Inside the grid, add additional Div Blocks for each cell.
  • Assign a class like table-cell to each one.
  • Add Text Blocks inside each table-cell for content.
  • Optionally give the top row a different style class (e.g., table-header) for column headers.

4. Style Your Table

  • For table-wrapper:
  • Add border, spacing, and background color as needed.
  • For table-cell:
  • Add padding, border, and text alignment.
  • For table-header:
  • Use bold text, different background color, or other styles to distinguish it.

5. Make It Responsive

  • Adjust the grid settings for different breakpoints:
  • Use Wrap Children and Auto-Fit where necessary.
  • Consider stacking content vertically on smaller screens.

6. Optional: Use Flexbox for Simpler Tables

  • For simpler tables (like 2 columns), Flexbox may be easier:
  • Create a parent Div with Display: Flex, Direction: Column.
  • Inside, nest row Divs (also with Flex), each containing two table-cell Divs.

Summary

To build a table in Webflow without third-party tools, use CSS Grid within Div Blocks to create the table structure, style table cells using classes, and make it responsive using Webflow’s built-in layout options.
