To get custom background music to consistently play on your personal wedding site using Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Prepare your audio file: First, you'll need to have your background music in an audio file format such as MP3 or WAV. Make sure the file is optimized for the web by reducing its size without compromising its quality. You can use audio editing software or online tools to achieve this.

  2. Upload the audio file: Login to your Webflow account and open your wedding site in the Webflow Designer. Navigate to the Assets panel and upload your audio file by clicking the "+" button. Once uploaded, you will see the file listed in your Assets.

  3. Add an audio player: To add an audio player to your site, drag and drop the Audio Player element onto the desired section of your page. You can find this element in the Add panel, under "Components".

  4. Customize the audio player: With the audio player selected, you can customize its appearance and settings in the right sidebar. You can choose a visual style, adjust the size, color, and alignment to match your site's design.

  5. Set up the audio file: With the audio player still selected, go to the "Settings" tab in the right sidebar. In the "Audio" section, click the "Choose an audio file" button and select the uploaded audio file from your Assets.

  6. Configure playback options: In the "Options" section, you can choose whether the audio should autoplay when the page loads, loop continuously, or be muted by default. Configure these options based on your preference and requirements.

  7. Preview and publish: Once you have finished customizing the audio player, preview your website to confirm that the background music plays as desired. If everything is working correctly, publish your site to make it live.

By following these steps, you can successfully add custom background music that consistently plays on your personal wedding site using Webflow. Your visitors will be able to enjoy the music while browsing your site and reliving the joyful moments of your special day.
