by

Adding a gradient border to your website can be a great way to add visual appeal and make certain elements stand out. In this tutorial, we will learn how to create a gradient border using Webflow, a powerful visual development platform.

Step 1: Create a New Project

If you haven’t done so already, start by creating a new project in Webflow. Once you have created your project, open it in the Webflow Designer.

Step 2: Select the Element

Next, identify the element to which you want to add the gradient border. It could be a div, an image, or any other HTML element.

Step 3: Add Custom CSS

To add a gradient border, we need to use custom CSS. In Webflow, you can easily add custom CSS to any element using the “Custom Code” feature.

  1. In the Webflow Designer, select the element you want to modify.
  2. In the right-hand panel, click on “Settings” (the gear icon).
  3. Scroll down and find the “Custom Code” section.
  4. In the “Head Code” field, add the following CSS code:
<style>
.gradient-border {
  border: 3px solid;
  border-image-slice: 1;
  border-image-source: linear-gradient(to right, #ff0000 , #0000ff);
}
</style>

Note: In this example code snippet, we are creating a gradient that goes from red (#ff0000) to blue (#0000ff). Feel free to customize these colors based on your design preferences.

Step 4: Apply the CSS Class

Now that we have our custom CSS ready, let’s apply it to the desired element.

  1. Select the element you want to add the gradient border to.
  2. In the right-hand panel, click on “Add Class” (the tag icon).
  3. Give your class a name (e.g., “gradient-border”) and press Enter.

Step 5: Preview and Publish

Finally, let’s preview our website to see the gradient border in action!

  1. In the Webflow Designer, click on the “Preview” button in the top-right corner.
  2. Navigate to the page where you added the gradient border.

Congratulations! You have successfully added a gradient border to your website using Webflow. Experiment with different colors and gradients to achieve the desired effect. With this newfound knowledge, you can create visually engaging websites that captivate your audience!
