To create a navigation widget like the one on the right-hand side of the Webflow blog post on the website "The 300 Best Accelerators and Incubators from United States," you can follow these steps:

  1. Design your widget: Start by designing your navigation widget in Webflow's Designer. Consider the layout, colors, and elements you want to include.

  2. Set up the structure: In the Navigator panel, create a new div block to contain your widget. Give it a class name to style it later.

  3. Add links: Inside the div block, add a link block for each navigation item you want to include. Customize the text and link destination for each link block.

  4. Style the widget: Select the div block for your widget and apply the necessary styles to achieve the desired layout. You can use Flexbox or Grid to align the navigation items as needed. Add spacing, borders, or any other visual elements to match the design.

  5. Position the widget: To position the widget on the right-hand side of the page, you can utilize Webflow's positioning options. Select the div block for your widget, and in the Styles panel, set the positioning to "Fixed" or "Absolute." Choose the appropriate position, such as top-right or bottom-right, and adjust the values to position it precisely where you want it.

  6. Add interactions (optional): If you want to add additional interactivity to your widget, such as hover effects or animations, you can use Webflow's Interactions feature. Select the elements you want to animate, go to the Interactions panel, and define the desired actions.

  7. Preview and publish: Once you're satisfied with your navigation widget's design and functionality, you can preview it to see how it looks and behaves in different viewport sizes. When everything is ready, publish your site to make the widget live on the web.

By following these steps, you can create a navigation widget similar to the one on the right-hand side of the Webflow blog post on the website mentioned.
