By default, the customization of "Slider Dots" in Webflow is quite limited. Fortunately, there are two simple methods to make them completely customizable!

Learn how to customize the design of the slider dots on your Webflow sites in this tutorial 👇

Method 1: Integrate CSS Code

In this tutorial, we will customize the color and size of the navigation dots in our slider. However, you can fully customize your slider by adding CSS properties.

1. Add an Embed Code Element to Your Slider
