To set up a page to start at the bottom and have the user scroll up using Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Create a new page in Webflow: Start by creating a new page in your Webflow project.

  2. Set the body height: In the Designer view, select the body element and go to the Style panel. Set the height of the body element to 100vh (viewport height) to make sure it spans the entire height of the viewport.

  3. Add a section: Drag and drop a Section element onto the canvas, and make sure it is the first element in the body. This section will be scrolled into view when the page loads.

  4. Style the section: Select the section element and go to the Style panel. Set the height of the section to your desired height. You can also apply any other style properties or background images to the section.

  5. Enable "Overflow: hidden" on body: While the section is still selected, go to the Style panel and enable "Overflow: hidden" on the body element. This will hide any content that overflows beyond the section's boundaries.

  6. Add content: Add your content elements inside the section. These can include headings, paragraphs, images, or any other elements you want to display on the page. Make sure the content elements are placed in the correct order based on the scrolling direction you want.

  7. Add interactions: To create the scroll up effect, you can use Webflow's Interactions feature. Select the section and go to the Interactions panel. Create a new scroll interaction, and set the trigger to "While page is scrolling". Then, select the elements you want to animate and set the desired animations, like moving elements up or fading them in.

  8. Publish and test: Once you are done setting up the page, publish your Webflow project and test the scroll up effect by visiting the published URL. The page should start at the bottom of the section, and the user should be able to scroll up to view the rest of the content.

By following these steps, you can create a page in Webflow that starts at the bottom and allows the user to scroll up to view the content. This can be a unique and engaging way to present your website or showcase specific information.
