To create a button on top of an image in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Start by adding an image element to your Webflow page. You can do this by dragging and dropping an image element from the Elements panel onto your canvas.

  2. Once the image is added, you will want to position it as the background of a div block. To do this, select the image element and go to the Style panel. Under the Background section, click on the '+' icon to add a new background image.

  3. Upload or select the image you want to use for the background. Adjust the image settings as needed, such as position, size, and repeat.

  4. After setting up the background image, go back to the canvas and add a div block element on top of the image. This div block will act as the container for your button.

  5. Style the div block to your desired dimensions, such as width and height, using the Style panel.

  6. Add a button element (or any other link element) inside the div block. Customize the button styles as needed, including text, color, border, and size.

  7. Lastly, position the div block on top of the image by utilizing the position property in the Style panel. Set the position to either Absolute or Relative, depending on your requirements and desired behavior. Adjust the top and left properties to fine-tune the placement of the button.

By following these steps, you can create a visually appealing button that sits on top of an image in Webflow. Remember to preview and test your design across different viewport sizes to ensure responsiveness.
