Styling Form Blocks in Webflow

In this tutorial, we'll discuss how to style form blocks within Webflow. If you're new to Webflow, it's a powerful tool for creating responsive websites without the need for writing code. With Webflow, you can design, build, and launch custom websites visually.

For the purpose of this tutorial, we assume you have a basic understanding of Webflow and have access to the Webflow platform.

Introduction

My name is Sam Harrison, and I run a digital agency based in the UK. This channel is all about Webflow, including how to use it, start a web design or development business, or make passive income online.

In today's video, I'll demonstrate how to style the form block within Webflow. Many users have taken my Webflow courses on Skillshare and have been asking about customizing the form block to match their website's color scheme.

Let's start by adding a form block to our project in Webflow.

Adding a Form Block

1. Open the Webflow project where you want to style the form block.
2. Navigate to the "Elements" panel and select the "Form" block.
3. Adjust the width of the form block to better visualize the styling process.

By default, the form block inherits certain styles. We'll customize these styles to match our website's color scheme.

Styling the Form Block

First, let's modify the text color and button color within the form block to align with our website's theme.

1. Change the text color to complement the background.
2. Customize the button color to create contrast and visibility.
   • For example, if the background is dark, choose a lighter color for the button and darker text.

Now that the basics of the form block styling are covered, let's move on to customizing specific form elements, such as checkboxes.

Styling Checkboxes

When it comes to checkboxes, users often want to customize the colors and appearance of the checkmark background. Let's explore how to achieve this within Webflow.

1. Add a checkbox element to the form block.
2. Modify the text color and checkbox appearance as needed.
   • Webflow provides options to change the shape and size of the checkbox for a personalized touch.

Customizing Checkbox Backgrounds

Changing the actual color when the checkbox is checked requires a specific approach within Webflow. Here's how to achieve this:

1. Make sure the checkbox icon is selected.
2. Navigate to the settings cog and choose the "Custom" style option.
   • This allows for customization of the checkbox appearance, including its shape and size.
3. Adjust the size, shape, and placement of the checkbox to suit your design preferences.
4. To change the background color when the checkbox is checked, access the "States" panel.
   • Select the "Checked" option to modify the background color and appearance.
5. Customize the checked state with your desired background color and icon.
   • For instance, change the background color to match your website's theme and upload a custom icon or choose from available options.

By following these steps, you'll be able to fully style the checkboxes within Webflow to seamlessly integrate them into your website's design.

Additional Tips

It's important to note that Webflow's customization options may not always be immediately obvious. However, with the right knowledge, you can effectively manipulate various form elements to align with your design requirements.

In conclusion, styling form blocks within Webflow allows for enhanced customization and seamless integration into your website's design. By following the steps outlined in this tutorial, you can ensure that every element of your website, including form blocks and checkboxes, reflects your desired color scheme and visual appeal.
