If the "Contact" button on your Webflow website is disappearing in preview mode until it is initially hovered over, there are a few possible causes for this issue:

CSS Styles: It's possible that specific CSS styles are affecting the visibility of the button. Check if there are any conflicting or overriding CSS settings that could be hiding the button until it is hovered over. Inspect the element using the browser's developer tools and look for any CSS properties related to visibility, opacity, or display.
Interaction Effects: Webflow allows you to create interactions and animations for elements on your website. It's possible that an interaction effect has been applied to the button that causes it to disappear initially. Review the interactions panel in Webflow to see if any interactions are affecting the button's visibility.
Positioning: If the button is positioned relative to its parent container, check if there are any positioning settings that could be causing it to be hidden. For example, it could be placed outside the container's visible area, causing it to vanish until it's hovered over.
Z-Index: The button's z-index value could be lower than other elements on the page, causing it to be layered beneath them and hidden until it's hovered over. Increase the button's z-index value to ensure it is displayed above any other overlapping elements.

To resolve the issue, follow these steps:

Inspect the button element using the browser's developer tools and review its CSS properties.
Check if any interaction effects are applied to the button and modify or remove them if necessary.
Ensure that the button is positioned correctly and not outside the visible area.
Adjust the button's z-index value if it's layered beneath other elements.

By addressing these possible causes, you should be able to fix the issue of the "Contact" button disappearing in preview mode on your Webflow website.
