20 Link Effects

20 Line Hover Animations

Let site visitors preview external links by hovering over the text. This plug-and-play feature allows you to get a link preview without leaving :)

How it works:
It extracts external links on load, grabs a screenshot then reveals the preview on hover. 

Since the card's position is calculated using custom code - it works with inline links and link blocks.

Just change the external link, and the preview will be updated automatically. Replace the demo screenshot API I've used with your own on live builds.

The project also includes a static version where you can manually upload a preview if you prefer—inspired by https://uiw.tf components. Fully built-in Webflow.

For the trick to work, you need to paste the custom CSS code from the embed field into your project. The arrow icon can be replaced by your own SVG image in the CSS code. After that, you may need to adjust the spacing and sizes in the CSS code. If you use em for the sizes, the icon will automatically adjust when you use a larger font size.

A responsive, CMS connected Webflow project to use as a self-hosted alternative to social 'link in bio' tools such as Linktree (linktr.ee). 

By hosting your own link in bio page, you benefit from centralised editing, have additional styling options and direct all social link traffic to your site, rather than a third party's. There have also been reports of accounts being penalised on Instagram for using third party link in bio apps such as Linktree.

The project is free to clone and comes with both CMS connected and static versions, as well as instructions.

Here is an example on a website that allows users to scroll down towards the bottom of the page, then trigger a link to the next page. 

The code making this possible is available for you to customize it with your own links to pages.

Hi my gorgeous friends of Webflow,

This is a very easy one, but it is something that I came across very recently, so I though it would be beautiful to share it anyway. :)

Adding an inner shadow - with "Distance" being the only parameter not equal to 0 - is a smart way to create growing-from-bottom underline effect on hover for your links.

Enjoy and feel free to leave a comment!

Link Growing From Bottom Underline On Hover

Custom CSS to target only the "Current" link with Webflow's .w--current class. This changes the color on hover from the original (green) to an alternate color (purple) while leaving the other links unaffected.

This also uses Webflow IX to show an underline element on the hover of the links. Without the custom code the "Current" page link, on hover, would stay green.
