To integrate a PreLoader in Webflow, follow these steps:

  1. Create a new page or select the existing page where you want to add the PreLoader.
  2. Drag and drop a new section onto the page or select an existing section where you want the PreLoader to appear.
  3. Inside the section, add a new div block. This will serve as the container for the PreLoader.
  4. Give the div block a class name by clicking on the "Settings" tab in the right sidebar and entering a custom class name in the "Class" field.
  5. With the div block selected, navigate to the "Style" tab in the right sidebar.
  6. In the "Position" section, set the position to "Fixed" so that the PreLoader stays in place as the page scrolls.
  7. Customize the dimensions and appearance of the PreLoader by adjusting the width, height, background color, and other relevant styling options in the "Style" tab.
  8. Finally, you can incorporate an animated or static image into the PreLoader. To do this, simply insert an image into the div block you created in step 3. Make sure to give the image a descriptive alt text and set the appropriate dimensions using the "Style" tab.

By following these steps, you can easily integrate a PreLoader into your Webflow project to enhance the user experience and provide a visual indication of page loading progress.
