To fix the issue with the line drawing peeking from underneath the text on the last 2 slides of the 'about us' timeline in Webflow, here are a few suggestions:

  1. Adjust the z-index: The z-index property controls the stack order of elements on a webpage. By setting a higher z-index value to the text elements, you can ensure they appear on top of the line drawing. To do this in Webflow, select the text elements in the Webflow Designer, go to the Element Settings panel on the right-hand side, navigate to the Position tab, and set a higher z-index value.

  2. Use absolute positioning: Instead of relying on the default positioning of elements, you can manually position the text elements precisely over the line drawing. By setting the text elements to have absolute positioning, you can move them freely within their parent container. To achieve this in Webflow, select the text elements and go to the Element Settings panel. Under the Position tab, select "Absolute" from the Position dropdown menu. Then, adjust the top, left, right, or bottom values to position the text elements directly over the line drawing.

  3. Increase the line drawing's container height: If the line drawing container has a fixed height that is too small to accommodate the text without overlapping, you can increase the height to provide more space. This will allow the text elements to fit properly without covering the line drawing. Select the container element in the Webflow Designer, go to the Style tab in the Element Settings panel, and adjust the height accordingly.

  4. Modify the line drawing's placement: Instead of placing the line drawing below the text, consider placing it above the text or at a different position within the slide. This way, it won't be obscured by the text elements, and the issue of peeking will be resolved. To do this, rearrange the elements within the slide by dragging them in the Webflow Designer.

  5. Fine-tune the animation timings or transitions: If the line drawing and text elements have animation or transition effects applied, the issue could be a result of conflicting timings. Make sure the line drawing animation fully completes before the text elements start appearing to avoid any overlap or peeking issues. Adjust the timing or delay of the animations in the Webflow Designer by selecting the respective elements and editing the animation properties.

By implementing these suggestions, you should be able to fix the issue with the line drawing peeking from underneath the text on the last 2 slides of the 'about us' timeline in Webflow.
