How to recreate a connected dynamic hero section in Webflow?

Design help General

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to recreate a hero section in Webflow that visually communicates “infrastructure.” The idea is to have multiple floating components (like user cards, product boxes, payment forms, and confirmation boxes) that are visually connected with lines/curves, kind of like a flow diagram.

Here’s what I’d like to achieve:

  • Several “cards” (images, buttons, text boxes) floating in the hero section.

  • Animated or static connecting lines that tie them together to show flow.

  • Responsive layout (so the connections don’t break on different screen sizes).

  • Ideally, some subtle animations (cards floating in, lines being drawn, etc.).

I’ve attached a sample visual of what I’m aiming for.

What would be the best approach in Webflow to build something like this? Should I use absolute positioning, custom SVG connectors, or is there a more Webflow-native way to do it? Any guidance, tutorials, or cloneables would be super appreciated!

Thanks a lot :raising_hands:

Since the entire piece is compactly organized as a hero, I’d actually look at building this as a Rive animation. It will give you interactivity, state management, links if you want, and I believe it can reform responsively.

Alternatively, you could use a JS library to generate the connectors programmatically, but I don’t think it will actually be easier.

Lets only think about only one line where this coloured thingy is moving in every 20seconds. It seems like a fairly simple animation.

Is there a simpler way to have this animation than actually creating this animation yourself?
