To fix the formatting issue in your Webflow feature section where the footer appears to sit on top of it, cutting off the images and misaligning the text on hover animation, you can follow these steps:

  1. Adjust the z-index: The z-index property controls the stacking order of elements on a webpage. By default, elements have a z-index of 0, with higher values appearing on top of lower values. To ensure the feature section appears above the footer, you can increase its z-index value.
  • Select the feature section element in the Webflow Designer.
  • In the Style panel, scroll down to the Position section.
  • Set a higher z-index value such as 100 or more (depending on your specific layout and elements).
  1. Check for overlapping elements: Sometimes, elements within the feature section might be overlapping each other, causing the misalignment or cut-off issues.
  • Inspect the elements within the feature section for overlaps by selecting each element and ensuring they are not positioned on top of each other.
  • You can also use the Navigator panel in Webflow to easily see the hierarchy of elements and any potential overlaps.
  1. Adjust element positioning: If the feature section is relatively positioned or has a fixed height, it could be causing the misalignment or cut-off issues when the footer appears.
  • Select the feature section element in the Webflow Designer.
  • In the Style panel, scroll down to the Position section.
  • Try changing the positioning to "relative" or "static" to allow the content to flow naturally without interfering with the footer.
  1. Consider responsive design: It's important to ensure that the feature section behaves correctly across different screen sizes and devices.
  • Check if the issue only occurs on certain breakpoints. If so, you might need to adjust the styling or layout specific to those breakpoints.
  • Use the responsive design tools in Webflow to preview and test the feature section's appearance on various devices.
  1. Publish and test: Always publish your changes and test the feature section with the footer to confirm that the formatting issue has been resolved.

By following these steps, you should be able to fix the formatting issue in your Webflow feature section, ensuring that the footer does not overlap or misalign the content.
