It's the perfect CSS and HTML code editor if you want to create a unique website. [Webflow ](/webflow) provides a comprehensive panel for customizing your elements through the Style Manager. Thanks to its features, you can design the UI of your pages, where the CSS is crafted. In today's tutorial, we will learn how to **add a color gradient to your text in the Webflow Designer**. ## Step 1: Access Your Webflow Project In this step, we will head directly to our **Webflow project** and navigate to the section that interests us (the one where we want to apply a gradient to our text). ## Step 2: Create a Class for the Color Gradient Now we will **select the text** to which we want to apply our color gradient. We will **add a class** that we will name in our example: “text-gradient-purple.” P.S.: If you are following the Client-First method from Finsweet, we recommend creating your class directly in the Style Guide and then applying it to the elements you are interested in. ![Creating the class text-gradient-purple in Webflow](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/67053868fc01e494462e71c9/67123d2ac54a078bdac53f59_64760069e93084646c9eee43_62441a39b73585154bf57eae_Classe-text-gradient-webflow.png) ## Step 3: Style the Class with the Gradient Once we have created our class, we can add different styles (CSS code) to it. In our case, we will go to the “Backgrounds” section. In this section, there are three parameters: image & gradient, color, and clipping. In our first manipulation, we can add our color gradient in “**image & gradient**.” When you click on the “+,” you access various options. You can insert a background image, a linear gradient, a radial gradient, or an overlay. At this stage, you are free to unleash your creativity and customize your gradient as you wish. ![Linear gradient in Webflow](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/67053868fc01e494462e71c9/67123d2ac54a078bdac53f4f_64760069e93084646c9eee4a_62441a44798f806b2696a7ca_Background-gradient-lineaire-webflow.png) Next, in “**clipping**,” select “**clip background to text**.” This will ensure that your background only applies to your text. Your color gradient will only be applied to your text. ![Clip to Text in Webflow: Color gradient on text](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/67053868fc01e494462e71c9/67123d2ac54a078bdac53f53_64760069e93084646c9eee49_62441a514787a956745fb2ee_Background-clip-to-text-webflow.png) ## Step 4: Apply the Class Multiple Times If you want to apply the same gradient to multiple texts, you just need to **add the class** you previously created to each of them. ![Adding the class text-gradient-purple to different texts in Webflow](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/67053868fc01e494462e71c9/67123d2ac54a078bdac53f56_64760069e93084646c9eee48_62441a66a696061b61d0ce37_Ajouter-degrade-couleur-texte-webflow.png) **The Video Tutorial:** There you go, you now know how to **apply a color gradient to your texts in Webflow**.
