To achieve a move up parallax effect on the background of your website using Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Create a new section: Add a new section to your Webflow page where you want the parallax effect to appear. Make sure the section's height is set to 100vh (viewport height) so that it covers the entire screen.

  2. Set the section as a relative position: Select the section and go to the Styles panel. Under the Position category, set the section's position to Relative. This will allow us to move the background element within this section.

  3. Add a background image: To add a background image to the section, click on the "+" icon in the Styles panel next to the Background category. Choose the background image you want to use and set it as the section's background.

  4. Create a new div block: Add a new div block element inside the section. This will act as the container for your content and will be the element that gets the parallax effect.

  5. Set the div block as an absolute position: Select the div block and go to the Styles panel. Under the Position category, set the div block's position to Absolute. This will allow us to position the div block freely within the section.

  6. Adjust the div block's size and position: Resize and reposition the div block to cover the entire section. You can use the width and height properties to adjust its size and the top, left, right, and bottom properties to position it within the section.

  7. Apply the parallax effect: Now that the div block is set, we can apply the parallax effect. Select the div block and go to the Interaction panel. Click on the "+ New Interaction" button and choose the "Scroll" trigger.

  8. Add a move interaction: With the scroll interaction selected, click on the "+ Add new action" button. Choose the "Move" action from the list of available actions. Set the Move settings to move the div block in a desired direction (e.g., up) and define the distance and easing options to achieve the desired parallax effect.

  9. Preview and refine: Preview your website to see the parallax effect in action. Adjust the movement distance and easing options of the move interaction as needed to fine-tune the parallax effect.

With these steps, you should be able to achieve a move up parallax effect on the background of your website using Webflow.
