Saw this spotlight-effect somewhere online and rebuilt it here in 5 min.  Simple settings with mouse movement interaction. Made 2 versions: shadow & white-on-white. Any color / text possible. Might be interesting to use for some hero landing page... Feel free to clone.

Spotlight Effect On Hover

Francesco Castronuovo

In this tutorial we’ll build a fully interactive hero section in Webflow — complete with a spotlight effect that follows your cursor, a smooth GSAP-powered hover animation, and a custom SVG prism filter that adds a premium color-shift glow.

Here’s what you’ll learn step by step:

✅ Setting up the hero section with clean, scalable structure
✅ Creating a radial spotlight overlay that tracks the mouse
✅ Animating the hero image with GSAP scale & rotate on hover
✅ Styling the button with subtle CSS transitions
✅ Applying a custom SVG filter
✅ Using GSAP + JavaScript to animate the RGB offsets for the prism effect
✅ Ensuring full accessibility (pointer + keyboard)

The result? A dynamic, elegant hero section that feels premium and professional — and one you can easily adapt to your own projects.

Spotlight Reveal with Cursor Hover Animation Effect in Webflow

Rishabh Rai

A dynamic spotlight hover effect built entirely with custom HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. As the user moves their cursor, a radial gradient spotlight follows it, creating an interactive glow that illuminates key UI areas. A subtle dot grid in the background adds depth and motion. Designed to deliver an immersive hero section experience — ideal for studios, portfolios, and landing pages.

Built from scratch without external libraries. Lightweight, responsive, and easily customizable.

Spotlight Hover Effect – Fluttertop Studio

Carlos Montoya

Dann Petty asked Travis and me to be the keynote speakers for Epicurrence. As we were planning the keynote talk we decided to make it less about us presenting but more about the people who have stories to tell.

So we found a few spotlight speakers with a few key narratives we thought would resonate well with the Epicurrence attendees.

Instead of having a slide deck I wanted to try and design and develop the site with Webflow and have that up on the screen. We also wanted people to have access to the speakers during and after the Epicurrence Yosemite week.

Travis did the watercolors for it all and overall I was extremely happy with it.

Heys! Landing page for Epicurrence Yosemite
