How can I adjust the scroll down button in my Webflow hero section to account for a fixed navbar, ensuring the top part of the second fold is not covered?

If your scroll down button in the hero section scrolls to the next section, but it's getting covered by a fixed navbar, you need to adjust either the scroll behavior or the offset space manually.

1. Add Top Padding to the Target Section

• Select the section immediately after the hero section (the scroll target).
• Add top padding equal to, or slightly more than, your navbar height, e.g., if your navbar is 80px tall, add padding-top: 80px.
• This ensures that when users click the scroll down button, the top content of the next section is visible and not hidden underneath the navbar.

2. Use a Spacing Div Instead

• Add a Spacer Div at the top of the target section.
• Set the Spacer Div’s height to match your fixed navbar (e.g., 80px).
• This method works well if you don’t want to affect the entire section's visual padding.

3. Set Scroll Margin via Custom CSS (Advanced)

• Webflow doesn’t provide native scroll offset on anchor links, but you can simulate it:

• Give the anchor target element a unique class (e.g., .scroll-target).

• Add custom CSS in the Page Settings → Custom Code → Inside Head Tag:

  <style>.scroll-target { scroll-margin-top: 80px; }</style>

• Replace 80px with your navbar height.

4. Adjust Scroll Animation (if using interactions)

• If you’re using Webflow Interactions to scroll instead of native anchor links:
• Go to the Interactions panel.
• Find the scroll animation and adjust the Y-offset by subtracting your navbar height from the scroll target position.

Summary

To prevent your fixed navbar from covering content when scrolling, add appropriate top padding or a spacing div to the next section, or use scroll-margin-top via custom CSS. This ensures smooth navigation and visible content alignment after scroll.
