Add a Lightbox to your page: In the Webflow Designer, select the element where you want your lightbox to appear, and navigate to the Add Panel on the right-hand side. Click on "Lightbox" and choose the desired lightbox style.
Customize the Lightbox: After adding the lightbox, you can customize its appearance by selecting it on the canvas and adjusting the settings in the Styles Panel. This includes changing the background color, adding a close button, or modifying the lightbox's position.
Add a Button: Drag and drop a Button element onto your page or select an existing button that you want to use. Make sure to position it in a way that makes visual sense for your design.
Link the Button to the Lightbox: With the button selected, navigate to the Link Settings in the right-hand panel. Under the "Open Lightbox" dropdown, choose the lightbox that you want the button to trigger. You can also select whether the lightbox should open on the same page or in a new tab.
Customize the Button: Adjust the button's appearance by selecting it on the canvas and modifying its styles in the Styles Panel. This includes changing the text, background color, hover effects, and more.
Preview and Publish: Before publishing your site, preview it to ensure that the button successfully triggers the lightbox. You can do this by clicking the Preview button in the top-right corner of the Webflow Designer. If everything looks good, proceed to publish your site.
