Changing the style of a button in Webflow is a simple and effective way to customize the appearance of your website. With just a few tweaks, you can make your buttons stand out and match your brand’s identity. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to change a button style in Webflow.
To start, let’s take a look at the basic structure of a button in HTML:
<button>Button Text</button>
The button element is used to create buttons in HTML. By default, it has a plain appearance that may not suit your design preferences. Let’s explore how you can modify its style.
Step 1: Selecting the Button
In Webflow, you can easily select the button you want to modify by clicking on it in the Designer view. Once selected, you will see various styling options in the right-hand panel.
Step 2: Changing Button Background Color
One of the most common modifications is changing the background color of a button. To do this, locate the “Background” section in the Styles panel and click on it.
You can choose from preset colors or define a custom color by entering its hexadecimal value. Simply click on the color picker or input field to access these options.
Step 3: Adjusting Button Text Color
To ensure proper visibility and contrast, it’s essential to adjust the text color accordingly. Locate the “Text” section in the Styles panel and click on it.
Similar to changing background color, you can select from preset colors or define a custom text color using hexadecimal values.
Step 4: Modifying Button Size
Webflow allows you to adjust the size of your button easily. In the Styles panel, navigate to the “Size” section and click on it.
You can choose from predefined button sizes or specify a custom width and height by entering numerical values.
Step 5: Applying Border Styles
Borders can enhance the appearance of your button and make it visually appealing. In the Styles panel, find the “Border” section and click on it.
You can customize various border properties such as thickness, style, and color. Experiment with different options to achieve your desired look.
Step 6: Adding Hover Effects
To provide users with interactive feedback, you can add hover effects to your buttons. In Webflow, this can be done using interactions.
Select the button and navigate to the “Interactions” panel. Here, you can define how the button should behave when hovered over by applying animations or modifying properties.
Step 7: Styling Button on Different Devices
Webflow offers responsive design capabilities, allowing you to style buttons differently on various devices. To access device-specific styling options:
-
Click on the device icons located at the top of the Designer view.
-
Select a specific device.
-
Modify any aspect of your button’s style for that specific device.
