Webflow is an incredible platform that allows you to design and build websites without any coding knowledge. However, if you want to take your website to the next level and add your personal touch, you might want to create a custom CSS. In this tutorial, we will explore how you can accomplish this in Webflow.
Step 1: Accessing the Custom Code Editor
To start creating your custom CSS in Webflow, you need to access the Custom Code Editor. This editor allows you to add your own code snippets, including CSS styles, to override or enhance the default styles of your site.
To access the Custom Code Editor, follow these steps:
1. Login to your Webflow account. 2. Open the project where you want to add custom CSS. 3.
Click on the “Project Settings” icon located at the top right corner of the Designer interface. 4. In the left sidebar, click on “Custom Code”. 5. Scroll down until you find the “Head Code” section.
Important Note: It’s recommended that you backup your site before making any changes using custom code.

Step 4: Applying Custom Styles to Webflow Elements
Webflow provides a unique class-based system that makes it easy to Target and style specific elements within your website.
To apply custom styles to Webflow elements, you need to identify their class name. You can find the class name by selecting the element in the Designer interface and looking for it in the right sidebar under the "Styles" tab.
Once you have identified the class name, use it as a selector in your custom CSS. Here's an example:
In this example, ".my-custom-class" is the class name of a specific element in Webflow. The custom styles defined inside this selector will only be applied to elements with that specific class.
Step 5: Verifying Your Custom Styles
After adding your custom CSS styles, make sure to preview your changes and verify that they are applied correctly.
To preview your site with custom styles:
1. Click on the "Preview" button located at the top right corner of the Designer interface. Interact with your site and navigate through its pages.
3. Check if any issues occur or if any unexpected behavior is observed. Make necessary adjustments to your custom CSS based on your findings.

Remember to experiment, test, and iterate until you achieve the desired look and feel. Custom CSS in Webflow gives you the power to unleash your creativity and create a truly unique website.
