Hey there, welcome back to CF Ninja Hacks! Today, we’re diving into some awesome tricks that you can use to level up your funnel-building skills with CSS. Recently, Amelia reached out to me with a few questions about some specific styling elements she saw on a couple of ClickFunnels pages she was “funnel hacking.” I thought, why not share the solutions with everyone so you can all learn how to achieve these effects for your funnels?
First up, Amelia noticed a cool effect where text was underlined and highlighted in red. She wanted to know how to recreate it with some flexibility. Let me show you how. Normally, ClickFunnels doesn’t let you add a unique background color just to an underline, but with a little CSS magic, you can customize individual elements. You start by highlighting the text you want and adding a custom ID. From there, we use CSS to remove any strike-throughs or underlines, add a red background, and then customize with padding, borders, or whatever you like. I’ll walk you through how to set this up so that you can style specific text elements without affecting the whole page.
Amelia’s next question was about adding dynamic date and time elements on a page, similar to a countdown. There’s no built-in option for this in ClickFunnels, but with a bit of custom JavaScript, we can get pretty creative. You could program it to calculate the next Monday, for example, or pull specific dates from an external database. This way, you can keep your evergreen pages fresh without constantly updating the date yourself. If you’re not comfortable with code, there are plenty of snippets online that can do this for you – I’ll show you an example of one that works great for funnel pages.
She also noticed a flashing arrow on a funnel page, which turned out to be a GIF. GIFs are super simple to add in ClickFunnels – you just drag and drop! Upload the GIF like any other image, adjust the size, and you’ve got a blinking or moving effect on your page. This is a great trick if you want to draw attention to specific parts of your funnel, like a CTA or a form.
We then tackled creating button-like images. She noticed that some images in funnels were clickable and acted like buttons. To replicate this, you just upload an image, adjust its dimensions, and link it to the desired URL. In ClickFunnels, it’s easy – you go to the gear settings, add the URL, and now your image is clickable, taking users wherever you want them to go. Just another easy trick to boost interactivity!
Finally, Amelia had questions about animating buttons on hover, which wasn’t an option directly in ClickFunnels. But with a CSS keyframe animation, you can easily create these effects. This lets you control how your buttons behave when users hover over them – they can bounce, spin, or glow! It’s perfect for adding a bit of flair to your CTAs and getting that extra attention.
That wraps up today’s CSS hacks. If you’ve got questions or ideas on more CSS tricks, let me know in the comments below!
