CSS position properties (relative, absolute, fixed, position sticky, and floats) - Webflow tutorial

Using the position property is one of many ways you can change the layout and positioning of an element to create unique web layouts. You can even specify the stacking order of positioned elements that overlap other elements using z-index.
Here we’ll cover the values you can set for the Position and Float properties:
00:00 - Introduction
00:26 - Static positioning
00:55 - Relative positioning
03:33 - Absolute positioning
06:15 - Fixed positioning
10:11 - Sticky positioning
13:17 - Floats & clears
Note: We’re transitioning to a new UI, and are in the process of updating our Webflow University content.

    I think I’m falling hopelessly in love with Webflow. This is the second Webflow employee in as many days that I have been given no choice, but to refer to as delightful. It used to be that the only viable way to learn something about Webflow was to watch Ran Segal over at Flux. Webflow university existed, but the content often felt like a chore. But now, now!? Webflow University is fully accredited and this man (what’s his name?) is the headmaster. Ran’s still awesome, too.

    I'm enjoying and learning from these videos, but I have to say you guys run through the content REALLY fast. I know it's a "Crash Course" but it's faster than I can even take notes and comprehend fully at the same time. I have to go back over and over again to re-listen to the same info to make sure I'm taking accurate and relevant notes. Slowing down via the playback speed settings in KZread helps a little, but it's more an effect of how the videos were devised to be paced in the first place. Very little "white space" to use a design term.

  • @Webflow

    There are a few reasons why static is the default position value for HTML elements: Simplicity and predictability: Setting elements to static ensures that they follow the natural flow of the HTML document. This makes it easier for developers to build web pages without needing to explicitly define positioning for every element. Performance: The static position doesn't require any calculations or rendering adjustments, so it can be rendered more efficiently by the browser. This is particularly important for performance-sensitive scenarios, such as when rendering large web pages or complex layouts. Accessibility: The default static positioning helps ensure that web pages remain accessible to assistive technologies, such as screen readers. These technologies rely on the document flow to provide a meaningful reading experience, so altering the default positioning could potentially disrupt that experience. While static is the default position value, developers have the flexibility to change it to other values such as relative, absolute, fixed, or sticky. These alternative position values allow elements to be positioned in different ways, enabling more complex and customized layouts on web pages.
