Honestly, this is so much more helpful than Webflow's own cheesy, overly-produced tutorials with such narrow use cases. You went over lots of elements with plenty of examples and use-cases. Thank you!

By far the most comprehensive tut I've found and I love your no waffle approach! - thank you for describing the multiple ways - that's so helpful!

[scottcitron]

These quick tips are a great idea. Please keep them coming. Thanks.

3:23 this just made my *forever* ... been looking at blogs, guides, googling questions and this was the solution. I wanted to centre align my images in my 4 column light box. You're a saviour man! Thanks so much

This is great - picking on typical design issues that everyone will encounter and going over the right approaches with your experience will help to drill in those techniques

Very helpful quick tutorial. In addition to Webflow University tutorials, this kind of short tuto is more realistic regarding the webflow subtleties. Very good further. Thank you Nelson.

[yashkummar]

Brilliant. Well explained. Thanks Nelson.

[samroff]

Im learning Webflow and just discovered your channel. I have no doubt it´s gonna be helpful! Great video and explanation :)

[BrendaCardoso-trhh]

Very helpful!! Straight to the point!!!

[madkernell]

Nice idea these bite sized tuts Nelson!

Yeah. This is the thing with your channel I think... Shorter videos are much better. Even the livestreams you could make small clips out of them...

Thank ou for introducing me to Webflow! Your chanel will grow exponentially if you make videos that are straight to the point. Not necessarily short. If Webflow main channel is great for his short tutorials you could be the webflow channel for demos or a little more complicated turorials of cool stuff! ;)

Some suggestions:
- How to make a navbar a certain height (100px) but when you scroll down the navbar changes size (to 60px) AND switches to another logo (a reduced version of the logo, just an icon). And additional things like the navbar being always transparent and a solid color on hover.
- Making a slider with e-Commerce items scrolling.
- How to setup a stylescape in Webflow
- Recreation of Instagram's stories (a section with circles in it representing 'stories'. When you click one then you start to see an image in full height of the browser and with a dark background).

AND is itpossible to create more "conceptional" stuff in Webflow? Things that would require JavaScript. For example, having a background image hidden and when the cursor gets on top then theimage is revealed. But revealed in a radius of like 40px around the cursor. The closer to the cursor the more opacity and the further (40pxbeing the max) 0% opacity.

I hope you could make a video about any of these...

Could you please explain how to center two images directly on top of each other? I’m trying to create an animation where two identical images fade in and out, but I cannot figure out how to overlap the two images.

[MultiSciGeek]

Ok how do I centre something vertically based on the section height? It's anchoring to the top, with a bunch of space at the bottom.
