To create a page with multiple page section links followed by a horizontal scroll section in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Set up your sections: Start by designing and setting up your page sections in the Webflow Designer. Each section should contain the content you want to display when the corresponding link is clicked.

  2. Add page section links: Create a navigation menu or any other element that will serve as your page section links. Use the Link Block or Link element to create each link, and set the target to the corresponding section on your page. You can do this by selecting the link, going to the settings panel, and choosing the section from the dropdown menu under "Link Settings."

  3. Set up interactions: To create smooth scrolling between each section, you'll need to add interactions to your links. Select the link element, go to the Interactions panel, and create a new scroll-to animation interaction. Set the target destination to the corresponding section and customize the duration and easing to your preference.

  4. Create the horizontal scroll section: Once you've set up your page sections and links, it's time to create the horizontal scroll section. Add a new section to your page and ensure it has a larger width than the viewport to allow for horizontal scrolling.

  5. Add content to the horizontal scroll section: Add the content or elements you want to display in the horizontal scroll section. You can place div blocks or other content within the section, and set a specific width for the content inside.

  6. Enable horizontal scrolling: To enable horizontal scrolling for the newly created section, select it and go to the Styles panel. Under Position, set the overflow property to "auto" or "scroll" and set the height property to your preference.

  7. Customize the horizontal scroll behavior: If you want to customize the scroll behavior of the horizontal section, you can add interactions to it. For example, you can add animations that trigger when the user scrolls horizontally, or add interactions for navigating left or right within the section.

  8. Preview and optimize: Preview your page to ensure the functionality and design of the page section links and horizontal scroll section are to your liking. Additionally, make sure to optimize your page by adding relevant meta tags, including keywords, and optimizing the overall structure for SEO.

Additional Tips:

  • Make sure your sections have unique IDs to ensure proper linking.
  • Customize the design of your page section links and the horizontal scroll section to match your website's overall aesthetic.
  • Test the page on different screen sizes and devices to ensure responsiveness and smooth scrolling.
