You can communicate that people can interact with an element by changing how it looks and behave in different states.

The following states are available natively in Webflow:

  • None: The none state is an element’s default state.
  • Hover: The hover state activates when you hoover on an element. Keep in mind that it’s not possible on most touch devices (smaller breakpoints) to hover on touch.
  • Pressed: The pressed or active state shows when you click or press an element. The oressed state inherits styling from the hover state.
  • Focused: The focused state communicates when you’ve highlighted an element using a keyboard or voice.
  • Visited: The visited state is the state of a link that's been visited. This state inherits styles from the none state. You can only style a visited state’s text color, the background color, and the border color.

To add styled states:

In Webflow, you can access and style the different states from the Styles panel under the Selector field.

When you select a state from the States dropdown menu, a green state (also called pseudo-class), will appear in the Selector field.
WCAG Reference:

The States dropdown menu in the Selector of the Style panel lets you apply different styling to an element in different states.
