How can I create an 8-step calc form like the one showcased on valority.com using Webflow?

To create an 8-step calculation form like Valority.com using Webflow, you’ll need to combine multi-step form structuring, custom interactions, and JavaScript for dynamic calculation. Here's how to build it:

1. Plan and Structure Your Form

• Determine the number of steps (8) and questions or inputs for each step.
• Decide which inputs are used for calculations (e.g., number fields, sliders, checkboxes).
• Sketch the flow of steps and results to visualize conditional logic if needed.

2. Set Up a Multi-Step Form in Webflow

• Add a Form Block from the Add panel.
• Create 8 separate Div Blocks, each representing a "step" in your form (Step 1 → Step 8).
• Inside each step Div, place form fields (e.g., input, select).
• Give each step a unique class like step-1, step-2, etc.

3. Use Webflow Interactions to Navigate Between Steps

• Use "Next" and "Back" buttons in each step to move forward or backward.
• Apply Show/Hide interactions using Webflow’s IX2:
• On button click, hide current step, and show the next step.
• Add progress indicators (like dots or a bar) if needed, updating them with each step.

4. Store Input Data Using JavaScript

• For input values that impact the final calculation, use JavaScript to capture values as the user moves through steps using addEventListener for button clicks.
• Store input values in an object or array.

5. Perform Calculations After Final Step

• On the last step’s “Submit” or “Get Results” button, use JavaScript to:
• Retrieve the stored values.
• Run your calculation logic.
• Display final output (e.g., estimated tax savings, financial data).

6. Display Result Dynamically

• Create a final “Results” Div (Step 8) that is styled like a landing page section, showcasing personalized results.
• Use JavaScript to inject the result values into spans or text blocks using innerText.

7. Styling and Animation

• Match the Valority.com UI feel with consistent padding, colors, and fonts.
• Use smooth transitions or fade effects between steps for a professional experience (in Interactions).
• Consider using Lottie animations or icons to highlight important data points.

8. Make the Form Functional

• Ensure inputs are properly validated (email, required fields).
• If needed, connect the final form to Webflow’s Form Submission or a custom backend via Zapier or Make for CRM integration.

Summary

To replicate an 8-step calc form like Valority.com in Webflow, structure your form into 8 Div-based steps, use Webflow Interactions to handle step transitions, track input values with JavaScript, and display a dynamic result at the end. This combines strong UX with real-time calculation logic.
