How Do I Stop Scrolling in Webflow?

by

Are you tired of endlessly scrolling through your Webflow website? Do you want to give your users a more interactive and engaging experience? In this tutorial, we will explore different techniques to stop scrolling in Webflow using HTML and CSS.

Method 1: Disabling Scroll

If you want to completely disable scrolling on your Webflow site, you can achieve this by adding a few lines of CSS code. Open your Webflow project and follow these steps:

  1. Step 1: Go to the Dashboard.
  2. Step 2: Select the project where you want to stop scrolling.
  3. Step 3: Click on the Custom Code tab.
  4. Step 4: In the Head Code section, add the following CSS code:
<style>
body {
    overflow: hidden;
}
</style>

This CSS code Targets the body element of your Webflow project and sets the overflow property to hidden. This effectively disables scrolling on all devices, including desktop and mobile.

Note:

If you only want to disable scrolling on specific pages or sections, you can Target those elements instead of the body element in the CSS code.

Method 2: Scroll-Snap

If disabling scrolling completely is not what you’re looking for, but rather a more controlled scrolling experience, you can use scroll-snap in Webflow. Scroll-snap allows you to define specific points where the scroll should stop or snap into place.

Add Scroll-Snap Styles

To add scroll-snap functionality to your Webflow site, follow these steps:

  1. Step 1: Open your Webflow project.
  2. Step 2: Go to the page or section where you want to apply scroll-snap.
  3. Step 3: Click on the Add Class button in the right sidebar.
<ul>
    <li class="scroll-snap">Section 1</li>
    <li class="scroll-snap">Section 2</li>
    <li class="scroll-snap">Section 3</li>
</ul>

This HTML code creates an unordered list with three list items that represent different sections of your page. Each list item has a class of “scroll-snap”, which we will use to apply scroll-snap styles in CSS.

Add Scroll-Snap Styles in CSS

To define the scroll-snap behavior, add the following CSS code:

.scroll-snap {
    scroll-snap-align: start;
}

In this example, we set the scroll-snap-align property to start, which means that each section will snap into place when scrolling starts. You can experiment with other values like center or end depending on your desired effect.
