Radio buttons are a commonly used form element in web design. They allow users to select a single option from a list of choices.
By default, radio buttons have a standard appearance that may not always align with the overall design of your website. In this tutorial, you will learn how to customize radio buttons in Webflow to match your desired style.
Step 1: Adding Radio Buttons
To get started, open your Webflow project and navigate to the page where you want to add the radio buttons. Drag and drop the “Radio Button” element from the form section of the Elements Panel onto your canvas.
Note: You can also add multiple radio buttons by duplicating the element or using a collection.
Step 2: Styling Radio Buttons
To customize the appearance of radio buttons, we will be using CSS classes. Select the radio button element on your canvas and click on the “Settings” tab in the right-hand panel. Scroll down to find the “Class” section and click on “+ New Class”.
Note: If you want to apply these styles to multiple radio buttons, it’s recommended to create a class and apply it accordingly.
Step 2.1: Changing Radio Button Size
If you want to change the size of your radio button, you can do so by modifying its dimensions in CSS. Within your newly created class, click on “Add Style” and select “Size.” Here, you can adjust both width and height properties according to your preference.2: Customizing Radio Button Appearance
If you wish to change how your radio button looks when selected or hovered over, you can modify its appearance using CSS pseudo-classes. Within your class, click on “Add Style” and select “States.” Here, you can define different styles for the :checked and :hover pseudo-classes.
Step 3: Styling Radio Button Labels
In addition to customizing the radio buttons themselves, you may also want to style the labels associated with them. To do this, select the label element that corresponds to your radio button and apply a CSS class or modify its default styling.
Note: You can use the same CSS class for multiple labels to maintain consistency across your design.
Step 4: Preview and Publish
Once you have finished customizing your radio buttons, it’s important to preview how they look in different states. Webflow allows you to preview your design in real-time by clicking on the eye icon in the top right corner of the Designer. Make sure to thoroughly test your radio buttons to ensure they function properly.
If you’re satisfied with the results, publish your project by clicking on “Publish” in the top right corner of the Designer. This will make your customized radio buttons live on your website for visitors to interact with.
Conclusion
In this tutorial, you learned how to customize radio buttons in Webflow using CSS classes. By modifying their size and appearance properties, as well as styling their associated labels, you can create radio buttons that seamlessly integrate with your website’s design. Remember to experiment with different styles and test thoroughly before publishing your changes.
