In this video tutorial, the presenter demonstrates how to create an animated button in Webflow. The process begins with adding a container to the header section and inserting a button element. The button is then styled with custom padding, font (Lato), text size, letter spacing, and colors. A gradient background and rounded corners are applied to enhance the button's appearance.
The core of the tutorial focuses on creating a hover animation effect. Using Icon Finder, the presenter downloads a white arrow icon as an SVG file and uploads it to Webflow. The arrow is added to the button's background in both the normal and hover states. In the normal state, the arrow is positioned outside the button (150% left), while in the hover state, it's moved inside (85% left).
To accommodate the arrow, the button's text is slightly shifted to the left during hover by adjusting the padding. The presenter emphasizes the importance of maintaining the button's overall width by balancing the padding changes on both sides.
Finally, a transition effect is added to create a smooth animation. The presenter sets a 400-millisecond transition for all properties, resulting in a polished button that reveals an arrow and shifts text slightly to the left when hovered over.
Throughout the tutorial, the presenter offers tips such as naming classes, working smart by using existing resources like Icon Finder, and paying attention to details like exact measurements and state management in Webflow.
The video concludes with an invitation to like, subscribe, and comment, promising weekly content on web design and tips for platforms like Figma, Sketch, and Webflow.
Highlights:
- The tutorial demonstrates creating a custom animated button in Webflow with a sliding arrow effect on hover.
- Key steps include styling the button, adding an SVG arrow, and creating hover state animations using background positioning and padding adjustments.
- The presenter emphasizes attention to detail, such as maintaining button width and using transitions for smooth animations.
