Step 1: Accessing the Style Panel
First things first, let’s open up Webflow and navigate to your project. Once you’re inside, locate the Style panel on the right-hand side of the screen. This is where all your styling magic happens!
Step 2: Selecting an Element
To change the background of a specific element on your webpage, you need to select it first. You can do this by simply clicking on the element in the Webflow designer.
Pro Tip:
If you want to change the background for the entire page, click on the body element.
Step 3: Choosing a Background Type
Now that you’ve selected an element, it’s time to choose what type of background you want. Webflow offers several options:
- Color: Want a solid color as your background? Simply click on the color picker in the Style panel and choose your desired color.
- Image: Prefer an image as your background? No problem! Click on “Image” in the Background section of the Style panel, and then select or upload your image.

Go for a gradient! Click on “Gradient” in the Background section of the Style panel, and then customize the colors and direction to create a stunning gradient background.
- Video: Want to add some motion to your website? Opt for a video background! Click on “Video” in the Background section of the Style panel, and then choose a video file or enter a YouTube or Vimeo URL.
Step 4: Fine-tuning Your Background
Once you’ve chosen your background type, you can further customize it to your liking. Here are some additional options you can explore:
- Position: Control where your background image is positioned using options like “center,” “top left,” or “bottom right.”
- Size: Adjust the size of your background image using options like “cover” or “contain.”
- Repeat: Choose whether your background image should repeat horizontally, vertically, or not at all.
- Opacity: Change the opacity of your background color or image for a subtle effect.
Step 5: Previewing and Publishing
Before you finalize your changes, take a moment to preview how your new background looks. You can do this by clicking on the eye icon in the top-right corner of the Webflow designer.
If you’re satisfied with the result, go ahead and publish your website. Show off your creativity to the world!
