Section Structure Guide
In our Webflow projects, we follow a consistent structure for organizing elements. The order we use is as follows:
  • Section: Each page begins with a section, which serves as the container for all content within that portion of the page. Sections help to divide the page into distinct areas, making it easier to manage and style different parts of the layout.
  • Padding: We apply padding to sections to ensure there is enough space between the content and the edges of the section. This padding helps improve the visual spacing and clarity of the design.
  • Container: Inside the section, we add a container to center the content and maintain consistent alignment across all screen sizes. Containers ensure that content stays within a specified width, providing a clean and professional look.
  • Wrapper: Wrappers are used within containers to group related elements and manage their layout. They help organize content and can be styled individually for greater flexibility and control over the design.
By following this structure, we create well-organized, responsive, and easily manageable Webflow layouts.
Overview: Getting Started with Your Template
Start by duplicating the template and exploring the Webflow Designer. Take note of how the pages are structured and how the elements work together. The template is built to provide flexibility for different projects, allowing you to easily adjust the content and design.
  • Explore the Navigator: Use the Navigator to understand the hierarchy of sections, containers, and components.
  • Customizing Styles: Head to the Style Panel to adjust fonts, colors, and spacing.
  • Review Components: Familiarize yourself with each component and how it can be reused across pages.
Customizing Components
Each component in this template serves a specific purpose and can be fully customized to fit your needs.
The Nav Bar is responsive and can easily be updated to reflect your branding. To edit:
  • Go to the Symbol Panel and double-click the nav component.
  • Customize the logo, links, and hover states through the Style Panel.
Each Section serves as a content wrapper that can be styled or duplicated across pages.
  • To edit: Adjust the padding, background color, and typography.
  • Add new sections by duplicating existing ones to maintain design consistency.
Cards are used to display snippets of information, often for blog posts, product features, or team members.
  • Customize the image, title, and description within the CMS collection or directly in the Designer.
  • Adjust spacing and alignment as needed.
Style Guide and Variants
The template includes a comprehensive Style Guide, giving you access to all predefined elements such as headings, buttons, and form inputs. Follow these steps to maintain consistency:
  • Head to the Style Guide page to view and modify global styles.
  • Make changes to colors, typography, and spacing, which will automatically apply across the template.
  • Use Variants for buttons and text fields that have pre-set states (e.g., hover, pressed) and adjust them if needed.
Advanced Interactions
This template includes a few advanced interactions that help bring your site to life.
Certain sections have scroll-triggered animations that make elements fade in or move as you scroll.
  • To edit: Select the section with the animation and head to the Interactions Panel to view or modify the scroll effects.
Buttons and cards feature hover states that change their appearance when a user hovers over them.
  • To edit: Select the component, and in the Style Panel, toggle the hover state to customize colors, borders, or shadow effects.
Editing Hidden Components
Some components might be hidden by default to maintain the design or simplify the workspace.
Accessing Hidden Elements
  • Hidden elements can be found in the Navigator. Simply unhide them by toggling the visibility in the Style Panel.
Hidden Components in the CMS
  • Certain dynamic items may not be visible in the Designer. You can edit these by navigating to the CMS Collection and updating the content directly.
