Is it possible to use code in Webflow to implement scroll hijacking and have different background colors for each section on a website?

Yes, it’s possible to implement scroll hijacking and use different background colors per section in Webflow, but additional custom code is required for scroll behavior customization.

1. Create Sections with Unique Background Colors

• Add a Section element for each scroll panel in Webflow Designer.
• Set each section’s height to 100vh to fill the screen.
• Apply different background colors using the Style panel.
• Give each section a unique class or custom attribute if needed for targeting with code.

2. Implement Scroll Hijacking Using Custom Code

• Webflow uses native browser scroll by default, so to implement scroll hijacking (one section at a time scroll), you’ll need custom JavaScript.
• A common approach is integrating a scroll library, such as:
• fullPage.js
• Lenis (by Studio Freight)
• GSAP ScrollTrigger with snap features
• You would place your JavaScript in the Page Settings → Before tag section or via Embed component in Webflow.

3. Add JavaScript for Scroll Snapping

• After integrating your chosen scroll library, configure it to scroll by full sections.
• For fullPage.js, for example, initialize it with a class like section and enable auto-scrolling.
• Make sure proper DOM tags (like section) are used consistently to avoid misbehavior.

4. Ensure Mobile Responsiveness and Accessibility

• Scroll hijacking can interfere with native scrolling on mobile and affect accessibility.
• Test performance and user experience across devices.
• Provide fallback behavior or toggle switch for users if necessary.

Summary

You can absolutely use custom code in Webflow to implement scroll hijacking with full-screen sections and individual background colors. Use a scroll-snapping library and style each section uniquely in Webflow Designer for full effect.
