Scrolling Image in Editor X | Wix Fix: A Step by Step Guide to Creating Smooth Scrolling Effects in Your Website Design

Creating a website with smooth scrolling effects can give your users a delightful and interactive experience. It not only adds a unique touch to your site, but it can also grab attention and direct users to specific parts of your content. In this blog post, we'll walk you through a step by step process for creating a nice scrolling effect using an image that will scroll down the page along with the content on your Editor X site.

Before we begin, keep in mind that we will be using Adobe Photoshop in this tutorial. However, don't worry if you don't have access to this software! There are plenty of cheaper or even free alternatives, such as Affinity or GIMP. You may even find online versions of Photoshop that can fulfill your needs. Now, let's get started!

Part 1: Preparing the Image and your Website

For this tutorial, we assume you have an image you want to use as the scrolling element in your website. First, open the image in your preferred image editor, such as Photoshop, Affinity, or GIMP. If needed, resize and adjust the image to suit your website design.

Next, open your website's editor and identify the section where you'd like to create the scrolling effect. We recommend having your image accompanied by some text or additional content to maximize the scrolling effect's impact. But, feel free to get creative and experiment based on your vision for your site!

Part 2: Creating a Long Scrolling Section

In this example, we want to create a compelling scrolling effect by making one long section and splitting it into multiple parts. Here's how to do it:

1. Start by selecting the section where you'd like to create the effect.

2. Open the inspector panel and set the height of the section to about 300 VH (viewport height). This setting will make the section three times the height of your users' screen, effectively creating three sections within one.

3. Add a 1x3 grid to the section, splitting it into three equal parts. With this grid, you'll have one section on top, one in the middle, and one at the bottom (each taking up 100 VH).

You'll notice that each part of the grid is now a stand-alone section, and you can easily add content, such as text or images, into each one.

Part 3: Adding the Image and Scroll Effect

Now that your website is set up for the scrolling effect, follow these steps to add the image and create the effect:

1. Open your image editor and export the image you want to use in a suitable format (e.g., jpg or png).

2. In your website editor, add the image to the middle section of the three-part grid.

3. Go to the inspector panel and search for the "sticky" position property.

4. Set the image's position to "sticky" and adjust the top property value accordingly (e.g., 50% to keep it centered vertically).

5. Save and publish your website to see the scrolling effect in action!

Your image should now scroll smoothly down the page, along with the rest of the content. Feel free to tweak the settings as you see fit to create the perfect scrolling effect for your site.
