How can I put text over an image in Webflow? I adjusted the z-index of the text, but it still remains above the image. Is there another step I should take to achieve this?
To put text over an image in Webflow, adjusting the z-index alone might not be enough as it only affects the stacking order within the same element. To achieve the desired effect, you can follow these steps:
1. Add a section or a div block to your canvas where you want the image and text to be placed.
2. Place an image element inside the section or div block. You can do this by dragging the image element from the Add panel or by using the Image component.
3. Customize the image by selecting a source and adjusting its styling properties such as size, position, and alignment.
4. Now, to add text over the image, you can use a heading element (H1, H2, etc.) or a paragraph element. Add the text element inside the same section or div block as the image.
5. Customize the text element's content, font, size, color, and any other styling properties as desired.
6. To make the text appear on top of the image, you need to adjust the positioning of the text. Select the text element and navigate to the element's style settings.
7. In the style settings, choose from various positioning options such as absolute, relative, or fixed positioning.
8. Once you select a positioning option, you can use the position settings to adjust the placement of the text. For example, you can use top, bottom, left, and right values to position the text precisely where you want it over the image.
9. If needed, you can also use the z-index property to control the layering order further. A higher z-index value will bring an element to the front.
10. Preview and adjust the image and text positioning until you achieve the desired result.
Remember to ensure that the section or div block containing the image and text has sufficient dimensions to accommodate both elements without cutting off any content. It may also be helpful to consider responsiveness and test how the text overlays respond to different viewport sizes.
