How To Create Gradient Border In Webflow (2022)

Today I'm going to show you how to create a gradient border in Webflow without a single line of code. This is a great way to bring your website to life and to set yourself apart from the others!

When I first started in Webflow, I always wanted to create more interesting, aesthetically pleasing borders that could set my website apart from others. However, I could never figure out how to create a gradient border without using custom code. Today, I am going to show you how to create a gradient border with a few simple tricks and all without using a single line of code.

We are going to achieve this effect in 3 steps: 1) We are going to drop a text block inside of a link block (or div block) 2) We are going to apply a gradient background to our link block and set our text block's background to that of our website background and 3) We are going to give our text box padding and margin so as to create the illusion of a gradient border provided by our gradient link block.

By the end of this video you will know how to implement a simple gradient border effect that can set your site out above the rest!

I have been using Webflow to build my websites for years.

What can you do if your background of your website is an image?

Love the tutorial, but the thumbnail is a bit deceiving - I need a button with transparent background so that I can have it over the image - as your thumbnail shows ;)
