Are you looking to add a floating button to your website created in Webflow? This tutorial will guide you through the process of creating a visually engaging and functional floating button using HTML and CSS.
To begin, let’s start by adding a paragraph element using the
tag. Within this paragraph, we will explain step by step how to achieve the desired floating button effect.
Step 1: Open your Webflow project and navigate to the page where you want to add the floating button. Make sure you are in the Designer view.
Step 2: In your Webflow project, locate the section or container where you want your floating button to appear. It is essential to choose a prominent position on your page that is easily accessible for users.
Step 3: To create the floating effect, we will need to use CSS positioning. Add a new HTML embed element within your chosen section or container.
You can do this by selecting the section and clicking on “Add Elements” in the top toolbar. Choose “Embed” from the dropdown menu.
Step 4: Within the HTML embed element, add a div element with a unique class name. For example, let’s name it “floating-button-container”. The class name allows us to style and Target this specific element later.
Step 5: Now, let’s add some content inside our div element. This content will serve as our floating button. You can include text or an icon within an anchor tag () for better accessibility and usability.
For example, let’s create a simple button with text:
“`html
“`
Note: Feel free to customize the appearance of your floating button by applying CSS styles to the class “floating-button”. You can adjust the font size, color, background, and border properties to match your website’s design.

```
In this example, we use the "position" property with a value of "fixed" to ensure that our button stays in a fixed position even when scrolling. The "bottom" and "right" properties determine the exact positioning of the button on the page. The "z-index" property ensures that our button is displayed above other elements on the page.
Note: You can tweak these values according to your preferences and website design.
And there you have it! By following these simple steps and applying CSS styles, you have successfully created a floating button in Webflow. Remember to save your changes and preview your site to see the floating button in action.
- Tips:
- If you want your floating button to scroll along with your page content instead of staying fixed at one position, change the "position" property from "fixed" to "relative".
- You can add additional CSS properties such as hover effects, box shadows, or animations to make your floating button more interactive and engaging.
- Experiment with different colors, fonts, and sizes to match your website's overall design.
Now that you know how to create a floating button in Webflow using HTML and CSS, you can incorporate this element into your website to enhance user experience and draw attention to important calls-to-action. Happy designing!
