How Do I Add a Horizontal Scroll in Webflow?

If you want to add a horizontal scroll to your website built with Webflow, you’re in the right place! In this tutorial, we’ll walk through the steps of adding a horizontal scroll to your Webflow project.

Step 1: Create a Section

To begin, let’s create a section where we want the horizontal scroll effect. You can do this by adding a <div> element with a unique class or ID attribute. For example:

    <div class="horizontal-scroll">
        <!-- Your content here -->
    </div>

The class or ID name can be anything you like, just make sure it’s unique and easy to remember.

Step 2: Set Up Overflow

By default, Webflow sets the overflow property of sections to “visible.” To enable the horizontal scroll effect, we need to change this property.

You can do this by adding some custom CSS code within the <style> tags in the head section of your HTML document or by using Webflow’s Designer interface.

    .horizontal-scroll {
        overflow-x: auto;
        white-space: nowrap;
    }
  • Note:
  • The overflow-x: auto; property allows for horizontal scrolling when needed.
  • The white-space: nowrap; property prevents line breaks within the section, ensuring that content flows horizontally.

Step 3: Add Content

Now it’s time to add your content within the section. You can include any elements you like, such as text, images, or even other sections. Just make sure they are all within the <div> element with the unique class or ID you created earlier.

    <div class="horizontal-scroll">
        <h3>Content 1</h3>
        <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.</p>
        
        <h3>Content 2</h3>
        <p>Sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.</p>
        
        <img src="example.jpg" alt="Example Image">
    </div>

Step 4: Test and Refine

Once you’ve added your content, preview your website to see if the horizontal scroll is working as expected. If necessary, you can adjust the width of the section or make other styling changes to ensure a smooth scrolling experience.

You can also add additional CSS properties like padding, margin, and background color to further customize the look of your horizontal scroll section.

Congratulations! You’ve successfully added a horizontal scroll to your Webflow project.

Remember to test your website on different devices and browsers to ensure compatibility and responsiveness. Happy scrolling!
