Yes, Webflow provides a direct option for creating gradient borders around text or boxes. The steps below outline the process:

  1. Select the element: Choose the text or box you want to add a gradient border to in the Webflow Designer.

  2. Open the Border settings: In the right-hand panel, click on the "Border" section to open the border settings.

  3. Enable Gradient: In the Border settings, you will see a checkbox option called "Gradient". Enable this option by clicking on the checkbox.

  4. Choose Gradient Type: Once the gradient option is enabled, you can select the type of gradient you want to apply to the border. You have two options:

  • Linear Gradient: This option creates a gradient that follows a straight line.
  • Radial Gradient: This option creates a gradient that radiates from a central point.
  1. Adjust Gradient: After choosing the gradient type, you can adjust the gradient by modifying the color stops. Each color stop represents a point in the gradient where the color changes. You can add, remove, or adjust the position of color stops to achieve the desired gradient effect.

  2. Modify Border Width: You can also adjust the width of the gradient border by changing the "Border Width" value in the Border settings.

  3. Refine Gradient Options: Webflow also offers additional gradient options like angle, blend mode, and opacity. You can experiment with these options to further refine the gradient border.

  4. Preview and Publish: Preview your design to see the gradient border in action. Once you're satisfied, publish your site to make the changes live.

Creating a gradient border around text or boxes in Webflow allows you to add visual interest and enhance the overall design of your website.
