In this episode, Sandro, co-founder of Gemeos Webflow agency, shows you how to add filters to your CMS collections

Why add filters to your CMS collections?

Filters matter on the web because they help users quickly find the products that match their needs and preferences. By using filters, prospects can narrow their search based on specific criteria like size, color, price, brand, and more.

Filters also make it easier to navigate a large catalog by reducing the number of products shown on screen. That can improve the user experience by making search faster and more efficient.

Finally, using filters can also help businesses better understand their customers' preferences and needs by collecting data on the most-used filters and the search results people view most often. That data can be used to make the catalog more relevant and deliver a more personalized shopping experience.

Here’s an example of a catalog with an advanced filtering system built for a client using Finsweet attributes CMS Filter
