Published on
September 22, 2023
To position two text blocks over a background image in Webflow, you can use the built-in positioning and flexbox features. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to achieve this:
-
Add a
Sectionelement to your Webflow project. -
Inside the
Section, add aContainerelement to hold your content. -
Insert an
Imageelement within theContainerand select the desired background image. -
By default, the
Imageelement will stretch to cover the entireContainer. To maintain the aspect ratio of the image, go to theImage Settingspanel and set theWidthto100%and theHeighttoauto. -
Now, add a
Divblock underneath theImageelement. ThisDivblock will contain your text blocks. -
Inside the
Divblock, add a separateDivfor each text block you want to position. - Apply the necessary styling to the text blocks, such as fonts, colors, and sizes.
-
To position the text blocks over the background image, select the parent
Divblock containing the text blocks and go to thePositioningpanel. -
Choose
Absolutefrom thePositiondropdown menu. This will allow you to place the text blocks wherever you want within the parent div. -
Adjust the
Top,Right,Bottom, andLeftvalues to position the text blocks precisely where desired. -
If you want the text blocks to be centered, you can use the flexbox feature. Select the parent
Divblock and navigate to theFlexboxpanel. -
Enable
Flexboxand set theJustifyandAlignoptions toCenter. -
Finally, make sure the parent
Divblock has a higherZ-Indexthan the image so that the text blocks appear on top of the background.
By following these steps, you should be able to position two text blocks over a background image in Webflow. Remember to preview and test your design to ensure it appears correctly on different devices.
