Changing the Button Text in Webflow
As a web designer or developer, you may often find yourself needing to customize various elements of your website to match your desired design. One such element is the button text. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the process of changing the button text in Webflow.
Step 1: Selecting the Button
To change the button text, you first need to select the specific button element that you want to modify. In Webflow, buttons are typically represented by the <button> tag or an anchor tag with a class assigned to it.
If you’re using a <button> tag, locate the tag within your HTML structure and ensure it has an identifiable class or ID attached to it. If you’re using an anchor tag instead, make sure it also has a class or ID assigned.
Example:
<button class="my-button">Click Me</button>
In this example, we have given our button a class of “my-button”. Remember this class name as we will be referencing it later.
Step 2: Accessing Webflow Designer
To modify the button text, we need to access Webflow Designer. Log in to your Webflow account and navigate to your project’s dashboard.
Once you’re in the dashboard, click on “Designer” for the specific project you’re working on. This will open up the Webflow Designer interface where all your design modifications can be made.
Step 3: Locating and Selecting Your Button Element
In Webflow Designer, locate and select the button element that you want to change. This can be done by either clicking directly on the button in the canvas or by selecting it from the Navigator panel on the left-hand side of the screen.
When you have selected the button, its properties will appear in the right-hand sidebar.
Step 4: Changing the Button Text
In the right-hand sidebar, navigate to the “Typography” section. Here, you will find options to modify various text-related properties of your button, including its text content.
To change the button text, simply update the text field with your desired text. As you type, you will see the changes reflected in real-time on your canvas.
Let’s assume we want to change our button text from “Click Me” to “Submit Now”. We would replace “Click Me” with “Submit Now” in our Webflow Designer’s text field.
Step 5: Preview and Publish
Once you have made all your desired changes, it’s important to preview them before publishing your site. To do this, click on the “Preview” button located at the top-right corner of Webflow Designer.
In preview mode, make sure to test your new button text and ensure it appears exactly as desired. If any further modifications are required, repeat steps 3 and 4 until you achieve your desired result.
If everything looks great in preview mode, go ahead and publish your site by clicking on “Publish” at the top-right corner of Webflow Designer. Congratulations! Your new button text is now live on your website!
