To create static, curved menu links without using circletext.js in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Create a div block for the curved menu links: Start by adding a div block to your page where you want the curved menu links to appear. Make sure to give it a class name for easier styling.

  2. Style the div block: Customize the appearance of the div block by adjusting its size, background, and other properties using the style panel in the Webflow Designer.

  3. Add a link element: Inside the div block, add a link element for each menu item. You can do this by dragging and dropping a Link Block element from the webflow Designer's Elements panel.

  4. Style the link element: Customize the appearance of the link element according to your design preferences. You can change the font, color, and size using the style panel in the Webflow Designer.

  5. Position the link elements: To create the curved effect, you'll need to position the link elements within the div block. Use CSS properties like position, top, left, and transform to achieve the desired curved layout.

  6. Adjust rotation and position: Depending on the curvature you want, you might need to adjust the rotation and position of each link element individually. This can be done using transformations in CSS, like rotate or translate.

  7. Add hover effects: Enhance the user experience by adding hover effects to the link elements. You can use CSS transitions or animations to create smooth transitions when the user hovers over the menu items.

  8. Fine-tune the design: Once you have the basic curved menu in place, you can further fine-tune the design by adjusting the spacing, alignment, and other visual details to ensure that it fits seamlessly into your overall website design.

By following these steps, you can create static, curved menu links in Webflow without relying on external libraries like circletext.js.
