To wrap the entire page in Webflow and animate a Lottie while scrolling down, you can follow these steps:

  1. Create a new page in Webflow or open an existing page that you want to apply the effect to.

  2. Add a new section to your page by clicking on the plus icon in the Webflow designer or using the shortcut key (S). This will be the container for your page content.

  3. Set the section to have a full height by selecting it and going to the Styles panel on the right side. Under the Position section, choose "Relative" as the position type and check the "Full" box under the Dimensions section.

  4. Inside the section, add a Div Block by clicking on the plus icon or using the shortcut key (D). This Div Block will hold your Lottie animation.

  5. Customize the Div Block's size and position to fit your needs by adjusting its dimensions and using the layout tools in the designer.

  6. To add the Lottie animation, click on the Div Block and go to the Assets panel on the right side. Click on the "Upload" button and select your Lottie animation file. Once uploaded, the Lottie animation will be displayed in the Div Block.

  7. To animate the Lottie while scrolling, you can use Webflow's Interactions functionality. Select the Div Block and go to the Interactions panel. Click on the plus icon to create a new interaction.

  8. In the interaction settings, choose the scroll trigger you prefer (e.g., "While page is scrolling") and set the desired animation properties for your Lottie animation (e.g., opacity, scale, rotation).

  9. Preview your page to see the Lottie animation in action as you scroll down the page.

By following these steps, you can wrap your entire page in Webflow, add a Lottie animation, and animate it while scrolling down.

Additional Tips:

  • Remember to consider the performance impact of using large Lottie animations. Optimize your Lottie file size whenever possible to ensure smooth scrolling and page loading.

  • You can also explore other animation options in Webflow, such as using interactions to trigger animations based on different scroll positions or element interactions.

  • Experiment with different scroll triggers and animation properties to achieve the desired effect for your Lottie animation.
