How can I add a label to a link or block in Webflow? Is it possible to place a text block or heading in front of an image inside a block?

To add a label to a link or block in Webflow, or place text in front of an image, you can use a combination of div blocks, text elements, and custom positioning.

1. Wrap Elements in a Parent Div Block

• Drag a Div Block into your layout where you want the content.
• Inside that div, place an Image element and then a Text Block or Heading.
• This sets up the structure needed for layering and positioning.

2. Set the Parent Div Block to Relative Positioning

• Select the parent Div Block.
• In the Style panel, under Position, choose Relative.
• This allows you to absolutely position elements inside it.

3. Position the Text in Front of the Image

• Select the Text Block or Heading inside the parent div.
• Set its Position to Absolute and choose a corner or center (top-left, center, etc.) using the position arrows.
• Use Padding or Margin to fine-tune its placement if needed.
• To ensure it's visible on top, set a higher z-index (e.g., 10+).

4. Style the Label

• Adjust font size, color, background color, and padding to make the text stand out over the image.
• You can also use semi-transparent backgrounds (e.g., rgba) for better contrast.

5. Use Link Blocks for Clickable Areas

• If you want the label and image to be clickable:
• Use a Link Block as the parent wrapper instead of a Div Block.
• Add the Image and Text Block inside the Link Block.
• Style using the same positioning techniques.

Summary

To add a label or text in front of an image in Webflow, wrap both in a relative-positioned div, then absolutely position the text over the image. Use z-index and styling to ensure readability and visual appeal.
