Project
Lower Basin Barracks
Massachusetts State Police + DCAMM
Boston, Massachusetts
Finegold Alexander, in conjunction with STV as Public Safety Specialist, designed the modernization, renovation and addition to the historic Lower Basin Barracks for the Massachusetts State Police. The project involves the adaptive reuse of the former Charles River Lower Locks Building to provide space for the consolidation of State Police Troops and for current and projected mission requirements. The goal was to develop a public facility that appropriately balances functionality and visual appeal. This facility is on the National Register of Historic Places and is prominently located in the Lower Charles River Basin. The design involves the State Police, the Division of Conservation and Recreation, and incorporates extensive public outreach.

Overview
Building an image comparison section in Webflow doesn't need to be difficult, and it shouldn't cost you time or money...
Here's a simple solution, we built ontop of the awesome js work from @pehaa.
We've tried to make this really accessible for all users, so what's important here is <Image Wrapper> and the two images inside of it, namely <Image One> and of course <Image Two>. We recommend you size your two images the same, although it will work regardless.
Use <Image Wrapper> to set your maximum width, and copy the code from page settings. That's it, when you publish the page the magic will happen.
