How Do You Clone a Webflow?

Webflow is a popular website design and development platform that allows users to create stunning websites without any coding knowledge. If you come across a website built on Webflow and find it inspiring, you might wonder how you can clone it for your own project. In this tutorial, we will explore the steps involved in cloning a Webflow website.

Step 1: Inspect the Website

To clone a Webflow website, you need to inspect its elements. Right-click on the webpage and select “Inspect” from the context menu. This will open the browser’s developer tools.

Step 2: Identify CSS Styles
