To create a gradient on the body background that spans the entire website without repeating in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Open your Webflow project and go to the Designer.
  2. Select the body element from the Navigator panel on the left.
  3. In the Styles panel on the right, scroll down to the Background section.
  4. Click on the '+' icon next to the background property to add a new layer.
  5. In the dropdown menu that appears, select Gradient.
  6. Next, you will see various options for creating your gradient. Customize these settings according to your preference:
  • Type: Choose between linear or radial gradient.
  • Direction: Determine the angle or shape of the gradient.
  • Colors: Set the color stops for your gradient by clicking on the colored squares and adjusting the settings.
  • Opacity: Control the transparency of the gradient.
  1. Once you have configured the gradient settings, you can preview the changes in real-time by clicking outside the Styles panel or pressing Enter/Return.
  2. By default, the gradient will be applied to the body element only. If you want the gradient to span the entire website, you need to make sure that your content is contained within a full-width container. To do this, select the container that holds all your website content, and in the Styles panel, set the width to 100%.
  3. You can further customize the gradient by adjusting the position and size of the container in relation to the body element.

By following these steps, you can easily create a gradient on the body background that spans the entire website without repeating in Webflow. Remember to regularly preview and publish your changes to see them in action on your live website.
