How can I create additional sections with different background colors using Webflow, without altering the original sections?
TL;DR
- Add a new section in Webflow, assign it a unique or combo class, and set the background color via the Style panel.
- Add padding and content, then test responsiveness to ensure layout consistency across devices.
To add new sections with different background colors in Webflow while preserving the original sections, follow these steps:
1. Add a New Section
- Go to the Webflow Designer.
- From the Add Panel (A), drag a Section element into the desired location on your page.
- Make sure it’s placed outside your original sections to avoid impacting their styles.
2. Apply Unique Class or Combo Class
- With your new section selected, give it a unique class name (e.g.,
ColorSection) or a Combo Class if you want to inherit styles (e.g.,Section Blue). - This ensures your new section won’t modify or override styles from your original sections.
3. Set Background Color
- With the class selected, go to the Style panel.
- Scroll to the Background section and:
- Click the color box to choose a background color, or
- Enter a hex, RGB, or HSL color as needed (e.g.,
#f0f0f0orrgba(0,0,255,0.2)).
4. Style Padding and Content
- Add padding to the section (typically
60px–120pxtop and bottom) to maintain visual consistency. - Drag any necessary containers, headings, or content blocks into the new section.
5. Test Layout and Responsiveness
- Switch to Tablet and Mobile views using the Responsive Preview.
- Adjust spacing or color if needed to maintain design consistency across breakpoints.
Summary
To create additional sections with different background colors in Webflow, add new section elements, assign them a unique class or combo class, and apply background colors in the Style panel. This approach keeps the original sections unchanged while giving you styling freedom.
