How can I set up a snappy/sticky scroll slider for portraits on my website using Webflow?

To create a snappy or sticky scroll slider for portraits in Webflow, you’ll use horizontal scroll interaction with scroll snap behavior and sticky positioning. Here's how to build it:

1. Prepare Your Section and Wrapper

• Add a Section to your page and give it a class like "scroll-section".
• Inside the section, add a Div Block for the scroll container (e.g., "scroll-wrapper"). This will hold all the portrait slides.

2. Style the Scroll Wrapper

• Set Overflow: Hidden for the section to prevent content spilling.
• Set the scroll-wrapper to:
• Display: Flex
• Flex Direction: Row
• Width: 100vw × number of slides (e.g., 500vw for 5 slides)
• Position: Sticky
• Top: 0
• Add a combo class to give the wrapper a fixed height (e.g., 100vh).

3. Add Portrait Slides

• Inside the scroll-wrapper, add multiple Div Blocks (e.g., "portrait-slide").
• Style each slide to:
• Width: 100vw
• Height: 100vh
• Scroll Snap Align: Start
• Use Background Image or Image Elements for the portraits.
• Optional: Use Flexbox (center/center) to align contents inside each slide.

4. Enable Scroll Snap Behavior

• On the scroll-wrapper (not the slides), set:
• Overflow-X: Scroll
• Scroll Direction: Horizontal
• Scroll Snap Type: X mandatory (set this using custom CSS or embed style tag inside Webflow)
  • Example: scroll-wrapper → Custom Attribute:
  • Name: style
  • Value: scroll-snap-type: x mandatory; overflow-y: hidden;

5. Smooth Scrolling (Optional)

• Enable smooth scrolling to make the snap behavior feel slick.
• Add a custom embed inside the Webflow page <style> and target your scroll container:
• Example:
  • scroll-wrapper { scroll-behavior: smooth; }
• Paste this into a Custom Code embed or Page Settings > Inside .

6. Add Interaction (Optional for Sticky Feel)

• Use Webflow’s Page Scroll interactions if you want to simulate sticky movement or animate elements as you scroll.
• Example: animate the portrait’s scale or opacity as each slide enters the viewport.

Summary

To create a snappy/sticky scroll slider, build a horizontally scrolling container using flexbox, enable scroll-snap via custom CSS, and use 100vw slides for each portrait. Add optional page scroll interactions for more polish and animation.
