Webflow could benefit immensely by adding support for pseudo-elements like ::before
, ::after
, and advanced CSS selectors such as :nth-child()
. These features would greatly enhance styling flexibility and design efficiency within the platform.
Enhanced Styling Capabilities:
Create decorative elements (e.g., icons, dividers) without needing additional HTML elements, reducing DOM clutter.
Apply hover effects or animations to generated content for a richer design experience.
Dynamic Layouts:
Use :nth-child()
to target and style specific elements in a collection (e.g., alternate row colors, unique designs for specific cards).
Achieve complex designs without duplicating classes or creating extra elements.
Improved Workflow:
Reduce the need for custom code embeds, keeping designs fully manageable in Webflow's visual editor.
