Possible? Dynamic slider with thumbnails

Design help General

Dear Webflow Friends,

Does anyone know if it is possible to create a portfolio site – with CMS – like this:

In short, the functionality to be able to switch between viewing thumbnails and large images. Clicking on a thumbnail takes you to the corresponding image in a slider.

My client has asked for a re-design of his current site (which I built a couple of years ago), I was hoping it would be a simple re-structure, but after a little looking around at some of the excellent tutorials on dynamic slider work-arounds, and linking to individual slides etc, I’m not sure it’s possible.

Would greatly appreciate input from anyone who thinks they might know how (or if!) this could work :slight_smile:
Do let me know if anything needs clarifying / explaining better.
Warmest regards,
Lizzie

Here is my site Read-Only for the current site – Please note, I haven’t started building it yet, I wanted to find out if I was about to attempt something within the realms of possibility: https://preview.webflow.com/preview/chris-frazer-smith?utm_source=chris-frazer-smith&preview=7bd720226e57680b6ee544f02fd47ab9

This is Squarespace site. To create such idea on webflow you should hire freelancer (No way to answer this by forum – sorry :frowning: ). Squarespace themes are “really hard to change” but if you use theme X “as is” some effects looks very cool.

This is not really a JS slider - but the page URL changes by AJAX (Look at the URL address bar).

image list

In general the thumbnails view is really simple (List of images). “THE PROBLEM” - webflow missing CMS gallery solution.

Slider

The slider himself is really easy to set (create 50% width button)

In your example the middle of the image “close” the slider (So set the width to arrow to 40%) and create 20% overlay button - and change the CSS to this cursor:

To create AJAX page change try this (Search on the forum for tutorials)
barba.js

Custom slider by interactions (Maybe you get from this some ideas):

Thank you for your thoughts @Siton_Systems!
Yes, perhaps going down the freelancer route is the best option for now – until we have CMS slider functionalities anyway! :wink:
