Is it possible to skew/angle only one side of a div in Webflow without affecting the other sides?

You can simulate skewing/angling only one side of a div in Webflow, but it requires workarounds, as Webflow does not natively support skewing one side using standard transform tools.

1. Use CSS Clip Path for Angled Sides

• Apply a custom clip path to the div to simulate one angled side.
• Go to the Element Settings > Custom Attributes and add a clip path using clip-path: polygon() in the Custom Code section (only in embed or page-level custom code).
• Example: To angle only the top side of a full-width div:
• clip-path: polygon(0 10%, 100% 0, 100% 100%, 0% 100%);
• This shifts only the top-left corner downward.

2. Use Pseudo-Elements for Angled Effects

• Create a pseudo-element (::before or ::after) that overlays part of the div and is skewed independently.
• Place this in a custom embed element or via custom CSS targeting a Webflow element with a class.
• Example: Add a class .angle-top and use this CSS:
• display: block; content: ''; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 50px; background: white; transform: skewY(-5deg);

3. Use an SVG Background for One-Sided Angles

• Insert an SVG shape as a background image or embed it above/below the div.
• This gives full control for one-side angle appearance without affecting layout.
• Set the SVG to position: absolute or use a Section Stack to maintain layout precision.

4. Avoid transform: skew() on the Parent Div

• Applying skew to an entire div skews all corners, which is not suitable when only one side should be tilted.
• To limit skew to one edge visually, stick to masks (clip paths), overlays, or inscribed elements like SVGs.

Summary

To angle only one side of a div in Webflow, use CSS clip-path, pseudo-elements, or SVGs—since native transform/skew affects the entire element. These methods offer visually angled sides while maintaining layout integrity.
