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

To create a snappy/sticky scroll slider for portraits in Webflow, you’ll use horizontal scrolling triggered by vertical scroll, combined with section snapping and sticky positioning.

1. Set Up Overall Page Structure

• Create a main Section (e.g., “Portraits Section”) that will hold your horizontal scroll content.
• Give the section a class (e.g., .horizontal-scroll-wrapper) and set its height to 100vh.
• Inside it, add a Div Block (e.g., .scroll-container) that will contain all your portrait slides.

2. Configure the Sticky Container

• Set the .scroll-container to position: sticky and top: 0.
• Set its height to 100vh and display: flex (horizontal layout).
• Each child of this container (your “slides” or portraits) should also be a Div Block with width: 100vw and height: 100vh so they appear full screen.

3. Enable Horizontal Translation on Scroll

• On the overall .horizontal-scroll-wrapper, set overflow: hidden.
• Create a Scroll-based Animation (via Webflow Interactions):
• Set trigger to While scrolling in view.
• Apply it to the .scroll-container.
• At 0% scroll, set transform: translateX(0%).
• At 100% scroll, set transform: translateX(-300%) for 4 slides, -100% per slide after the first.

4. Set the Wrapper Height to Allow Enough Scroll

• The .horizontal-scroll-wrapper section must be tall enough to allow vertical scroll.
• For 4 portrait slides, set the wrapper height to:
  *_100vh _ number of slides** (i.e., 400vh for 4 portraits).
• Do this in the Height setting of the section or using a combo of padding/margin if needed for responsiveness.

5. Add Scroll Snap (Optional)

• Webflow doesn’t have native scroll snap, but you can add it via custom code in the page settings:
• Add scroll-snap-type: x mandatory to the .scroll-container.
• Add scroll-snap-align: start to each portrait slide.
• If you're using smooth horizontal scroll (with interactions), manual snap may not be necessary as controlled animation gives that "snappy" feel.

6. Test Responsiveness

• Ensure that each slide's content (the portraits) scales well across mobile and tablet.
• Use object-fit: cover on images where necessary to maintain image fill.

Summary

To create a snappy/sticky portrait slider in Webflow, build a sticky horizontal scroll section, animate it with scroll-based interactions, and use full-screen slides for each portrait. Control scroll speed and snap behavior for a polished experience.
