How Do I Change the Color of a Link in Webflow?

by

Are you looking to change the color of a link in Webflow? Look no further!

In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to easily customize the color of your links using HTML and CSS. Let’s get started!

Step 1: Add Custom CSS Class

The first step is to add a custom CSS class to the link element that you want to change the color of. To do this, open your Webflow project and navigate to the page where your link is located.

Next, select the link element by clicking on it. In the right sidebar, click on the Settings tab and then click on Add class. Enter a name for your custom class, such as “custom-link”.

Pro Tip: It’s a good practice to use descriptive names for your classes so that it’s easier to understand their purpose later on.

Step 2: Define Custom CSS

Now that we have added our custom class, it’s time to define our custom CSS rules. To do this, we need to access the Custom Code area in Webflow.

In the top-right corner of the Webflow Designer interface, click on Publish. Then click on Add Custom Code. This will open up a modal where you can enter your custom CSS code.

Inside the modal, click on The head tag of every page. This ensures that our custom CSS will be applied globally across all pages in our project. Now let’s write some code!

<style>
.custom-link {
  color: red;
}
</style>

In this example, I’ve set the color property of our custom-link class to red. You can replace “red” with any valid CSS color value, such as “blue”, “#ff0000”, or “rgb(255, 0, 0)”. Feel free to experiment and choose a color that suits your design.

Step 3: Apply Custom Class

Now that we have our custom class defined with the desired color, it’s time to apply it to our link element. Go back to the Webflow Designer and select the link element again.

In the right sidebar, click on Add class and select the custom class you created earlier (“custom-link”). The link will now have the specified color applied to it.

Step 4: Preview and Publish

Before publishing your website, it’s always a good idea to preview your changes. Click on Preview in the top-right corner of the Webflow Designer interface. This will open a new tab where you can see how your website looks with the updated link color.

If you’re satisfied with the result, go ahead and click on Publish. Your changes will now be live on your website for everyone to see!

Congratulations!
