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

To create an 8-step calculator form similar to the one on valority.com, you’ll need to use Webflow’s multi-step form structure combined with custom interactions, conditional visibility, and form state management.

1. Design the Multi-Step Form Structure

• Create a new Form Block element in Webflow.
• Inside the form, add 8 separate Div Blocks—each one representing a step.
• Use a class like .form-step and give each step a unique ID (e.g., step-1, step-2, etc.).
• Only the first step (step-1) should be visible initially.

2. Add Form Inputs and Controls

• In each step container, add the relevant form fields (e.g., select fields, radio buttons, sliders).
• Add a “Next” button at the bottom of each step (and a “Back” button for steps 2–8).
• Set these buttons as Type: Button (not Submit) so they can be used for custom navigation.

3. Build Navigation Logic with Interactions

• Use Webflow Interactions (IX2) to toggle between steps:
• Hide the current step and show the next one when the Next button is clicked.
• Do the reverse for the Back button.
• Use "Mouse click (tap)" triggers on each navigation button to apply these interactions.
• Be sure to set Display: None / Flex or Block depending on the original layout.

4. Customize Step Indicators (Optional)

• Add a numerical or visual step indicator outside the form.
• Use interactions or custom code (if needed) to highlight the current step.

5. Store Data Across Steps Without Submission

• Since Webflow forms only submit on the final step, all inputs across steps will be sent as long as:
• They are inside the same Form Element.
• You do not use separate forms for each step.

6. Add Validation (Optional)

• Use Webflow’s Required setting on fields to ensure key inputs are completed.
• For advanced validation (e.g., number limits, conditional requirements), you’ll need custom JavaScript.

7. Submit and Redirect on Final Step

• On step 8, replace the "Next" button with a Submit button.
• Under Form Settings, you can:
• Set a custom Success message.
• Use Form Redirect to go to a results page or "Thank You" page.

8. Add Custom Smooth Transitions (Optional)

• Use Webflow animations to create sliding or fading transitions between steps.
• Add transitions on the .form-step class for smooth hiding/showing.
• This improves the feel and interactivity of the calculator.

Summary

To build an 8-step calculator form like valority.com in Webflow, create a single form with 8 hidden step containers, use buttons to navigate between steps via interactions, and include all required inputs inside the form so they submit together. Add transitions and step indicators for a polished UX. Custom logic (e.g., calculations) may require JavaScript.
