Summary

1. Adding the Navbar: We start by adding a pre-made navbar component from Webflow’s elements panel. This component includes a logo, navigation links, and a login button.
2. Customizing Links: We replace placeholder links with actual page sections like home, features, and products. Each link is tailored to navigate smoothly within the website.
3. Styling the Navbar: We change the navbar’s default background to a dark theme and ensure the text links are white for better contrast and visibility.
4. Fixing the Navbar: The navbar is fixed at the top of the page using the ‘Position Fixed’ setting, making sure it remains visible as users scroll.
5. Adding a Logo: A logo is added to the navbar by importing an image and positioning it within the navbar’s brand container.
6. Interactive Hover States: Hover states are created for the links, changing their appearance when users hover over them, enhancing interactivity.
7. Linking Sections: Each navigation link is set to target specific sections of the page, making navigation intuitive and smooth.
8. Styling the Login Button: The login button is styled with a gradient background and an icon, replacing the default text with an image.
9. Adjusting Element Settings: We ensure all elements within the navbar are spaced appropriately and aligned correctly by adjusting their settings.
10. Preview and Test: Finally, we preview the navbar to ensure it functions as intended and provides a seamless user experience.
