To add a large hidden text box to your existing portfolio site in Webflow, follow these steps:

  1. Create a new div block: In the Webflow Designer, navigate to the page where you want to add the hidden text box. Make sure you are in the correct section or container. Create a new div block by selecting the "+" icon in the toolbar and choosing "Div Block".

  2. Resize the div block: Click on the newly created div block and use the handles to resize it to your desired dimensions. You can make it as large as you need to accommodate your text.

  3. Style the div block: With the div block still selected, you can apply any desired styling properties to make it visually hidden. This could include setting the background color to match the rest of your website, adjusting the opacity to make it fully transparent, or simply adding custom CSS classes or interactions to hide it.

  4. Add text content: Double-click inside the div block to add your text content. You can add headings, paragraphs, lists, or any other text elements you need. Format the text as desired using the typography settings available in the right sidebar.

  5. Hide the div block: With the div block still selected, go to the layers panel on the right side of the Designer and click on the eye icon next to the div block to hide it. This will ensure that the text box remains hidden when you publish your site.

  6. Preview and Publish: Preview your site to ensure that the hidden text box is functioning as expected. If everything looks good, go ahead and publish your site to make the changes live.

By following these steps, you can easily add a large hidden text box to your existing portfolio site in Webflow. This can be useful for adding additional information, descriptions, or even hidden keywords for SEO purposes.
