20 Collection Lists per page might seem like a lot.

The reality is that you will run out fast, especially if you're trying to create small sections of similar content throughout your page.

If two Collection Lists connect to the same Collection, on the same page, and are displaying similar content... than you should probably have only one.

A Better Way

  • Organize your page differently so that you can consolidate your collection lists more efficiently.
  • Organize your content flow and site design differently so that more general content is at the higher level pages, and more specific content is delivered on your Collection Pages.
