To create a fixed section with text overlay in Webflow as the user scrolls down, you can follow these steps:

  1. Create a new section: Start by adding a new section to your Webflow project. This will act as the container for your fixed section with the text overlay.

  2. Adjust the section settings: Customize the section's dimensions, background color, or images to match your design. You can do this by selecting the section, going to the Styles panel, and making the necessary adjustments.

  3. Position the section: Under the position settings in the Styles panel, set the position to "Fixed". This ensures that the section remains fixed in its position as the user scrolls down the page.

  4. Add a Div Block: Inside the fixed section, add a Div Block element. This will serve as the container for your text content.

  5. Style the Div Block: Customize the Div Block's dimensions, background color, or images according to your design preferences. You can also add padding or margin if needed.

  6. Add text content: Within the Div Block, add a Text element. This is where you'll input your desired text content for the overlay.

  7. Style the text: Select the Text element and use the typography settings in the Styles panel to customize the font, size, color, alignment, and any other visual aspects of the text.

  8. Position the text overlay: Use the position settings in the Styles panel to position the text overlay within the Div Block. You can use margins or the flexbox layout to fine-tune its placement.

  9. Animate the text: To create an engaging scrolling effect, you can apply interactions to the text overlay. Webflow's interactions allow you to animate the appearance, movement, or other properties of elements as the user scrolls down the page.

  10. Preview and refine: Preview your fixed section with text overlay by clicking the "Preview" button. Make any necessary adjustments to the styling, positioning, or animations until you're satisfied with the final result.

By following these steps, you can create a visually appealing fixed section with a text overlay in Webflow that remains fixed in place as the user scrolls down the page.
