Yes, it is possible to add a sparkly mouse trail to your website on Webflow without a hosting subscription. Webflow allows you to create and design your website using their visual interface, even without a hosting subscription. However, note that in order to add custom code or enable more advanced features like a sparkly mouse trail, you will need to have a paid subscription or the ability to export your code and host your site elsewhere.

To add a sparkly mouse trail to your Webflow website without a hosting subscription, you can follow these steps:

  1. Design your website: Start by designing your website using Webflow's powerful visual interface. Take advantage of Webflow's built-in design tools and features to create your desired layout and style.

  2. Create the sparkly mouse trail effect: There are several ways to add a sparkly mouse trail effect to your website. One option is to use JavaScript libraries like jquery.sparkle.js or particles.js to generate the desired effect. You can find these libraries online and add them to your Webflow project. Another option is to use CSS animation properties to create the sparkly effect.

  3. Add custom code: To add the sparkly mouse trail effect, you will need to add custom code to your Webflow project. You can do this by adding the code to the Custom Code section in the project settings. Alternatively, you can paste the code directly into an HTML embed element on your page.

  4. Test and refine: Once you've added the sparkly mouse trail effect, make sure to test it on different devices and screen sizes to ensure it displays correctly. Adjust the code or design as needed to get the desired result.

Remember that while you can create and design your website on Webflow without a hosting subscription, you will need a subscription or to export your code to a different hosting provider in order to enable more advanced features or custom code like the sparkly mouse trail effect.
