In this tutorial, we will learn how to create a gradient background in Webflow. A gradient background can add depth and visual interest to your website, making it more engaging for visitors.
Step 1: Create a New Project
To begin, open Webflow and create a new project. Give your project a name and select the desired template or start from scratch.
Step 2: Select the Section
Next, select the section where you want to apply the gradient background. This could be the entire page or just a specific section of your website.
Step 3: Open the Style Panel
Once you have selected the section, open the style panel on the right-hand side of the Webflow interface. Here, you can customize various aspects of your website’s design.
Step 4: Choose Background Type
Under the “Background” section in the style panel, click on “Type” to choose the type of background you want to apply. Select “Gradient” from the dropdown menu.
Step 5: Customize Gradient Colors
Now it’s time to customize your gradient colors. You can choose between two colors for a simple gradient or add more colors for a complex gradient effect.
- Add First Color: Click on the color input field and select your desired color using the color picker or enter its hex code manually.
- Add Second Color: Click on “Add Color Stop” below the color input field to add another color to your gradient. Repeat this step if you want more colors in your gradient.
- Adjust Color Positions: Drag each color stop to set its position on the gradient.
This will determine where each color starts and ends.
- Customize Gradient Type: You can choose between linear and radial gradients. Experiment with different types to achieve the desired effect.
Step 6: Additional Gradient Options
In addition to customizing colors, you can further refine your gradient background with additional options:
- Gradient Angle: Adjust the angle of your gradient by dragging the angle control. This will change the direction in which the colors blend.
- Gradient Opacity: Set the opacity of your gradient background using the opacity control. This can be useful if you want to create a subtle or transparent gradient effect.
- Blend Mode: Experiment with different blend modes to achieve unique blending effects between your gradient background and other elements on the page.
Step 7: Preview and Publish
Finally, preview your website to see how the gradient background looks. Make any necessary adjustments until you are satisfied with the result. Once you are happy with your design, publish your website for the world to see!

A gradient background can add a touch of creativity and elegance to your website design. With Webflow’s easy-to-use interface, you can quickly create stunning gradients that will captivate your audience.
