Ability to customize grid guides

For me it would almost eliminate the use for Figma if I could customize the grid guides (number of columns and rows, margin, gutter) directly in Webflow.

The ability to add a px baseline grid for text alignment would also be great :)

    This is a fundamental tool, especially for people coming from design backgrounds. If Webflow wants to be an intuitive website building tool, not just a visual tool for web developers, this feature is needed.

    Custom guides is a simple tool, but has a huge impact on building accurately and efficiently.



    My anecdote : Not having custom guides, and the ability to zoom out an see the whole page (like in Figma) is basically a deal breaker for me. I've been on the fence, but seriously considering moving to Framer because they have those features. I know Webflow has more capabilities now, but Framer will catch up at some point. So I'm thinking should I just :

    1. Move to Framer now and have a much easier time building, while waiting for the inevitable increase in capabilities, or do I

    2. Grind it out with Webflow and hope someday they will add a custom guid like we waited for iPhone to allow us to place icons anyplace on the screen (15 years later).
