Building a Simple & Clean FAQ Accordion in Webflow

How to Build a Basic FAQ Accordion in Webflow (Using Show/Hide)

Creating a clean FAQ accordion in Webflow is easy and requires no custom code. Using Webflow’s native Show/Hide interactions, you can create collapsible answers that improve user experience — especially on mobile.

Why Use an FAQ Accordion?

• Organizes content into a clean, minimal layout
• Reduces visual clutter for long lists of questions
• Improves user experience on both desktop and mobile

Step-by-Step: Create a FAQ Accordion in Webflow

Step 1: Set Up the Structure

1. Add a div block with a class like faq-wrapper
2. Inside, place a Text Block or Heading for the question — e.g., faq-question
3. Below that, add a Paragraph or another div for the answer — e.g., faq-answer

Step 2: Style the FAQ Elements

Use padding, borders, icons, or hover states to make each question look clickable. Hide the answer by default by setting its Display to None.

Step 3: Add Interactions

1. Select the faq-question element
2. Go to the Interactions panel
3. Add a Mouse Click (Tap) trigger
4. Choose Toggle visibility for the faq-answer element
5. Add Slide Down or Fade In animation for a smooth effect

Step 4: Duplicate and Reuse

• Wrap each question/answer pair in a parent faq-item div
• Duplicate it for as many questions as you need
• Optionally add logic so only one item opens at a time

Bonus Tips

• Use Webflow CMS to manage your FAQs dynamically
• Add icons (like chevrons) that rotate when clicked
• Improve accessibility by adding aria-expanded and aria-controls to the question elements
