How Do I Rotate Text in Webflow?

Rotating text can add a unique touch to your website design and make certain elements stand out. If you’re using Webflow, rotating text is made easy with just a few simple steps.

Using Custom Code

If you want to rotate text in Webflow, you can achieve this by using custom code. Here’s how:

  1. First, open your Webflow project and navigate to the page where you want to add the rotating text.

  2. Create a new text element or select an existing one that you want to rotate.

  3. In the right-hand panel, click on the Add Field button under the Custom Attributes section.

  4. In the newly added custom attribute field, enter: style="animation: rotate 5s infinite linear;"

  5. This code applies an animation called “rotate” to the element, which will last for 5 seconds (you can adjust this duration) and repeat infinitely in a linear motion.

The CSS Code

To make this animation work, we need to add some CSS code. Follow these steps:

  1. In your Webflow project, go to the Project Settings.

  2. Select the Custom Code tab.

  3. In the ‘<head>‘ section of your site’s custom code settings, add the following CSS:

    “`css
    <style>
    @keyframes rotate {
    0% { transform: rotate(0deg); }
    100% { transform: rotate(360deg); }
    }
    </style>
    “`

Final Thoughts

Rotating text can be a fun and engaging way to draw attention to certain elements on your website. With Webflow, you can easily add this effect using custom code and CSS animations.

Remember to always test your changes in the Webflow Designer and preview mode to ensure everything looks and works as expected. Happy rotating!
