Yes, it is possible to create a rotating text effect in Webflow. This effect is commonly referred to as a "carousel" or "slider" in web design. By using Webflow's interactions feature, you can easily achieve the rotating text effect.

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to create a rotating text effect in Webflow:

  1. Create a new project or open an existing project in the Webflow Designer.

  2. Add a section or container element where you want the rotating text to appear.

  3. Inside the section or container, add a div block element.

  4. Add a text element inside the div block. This will be the initial text that will rotate.

  5. Duplicate the text element as many times as you want to create multiple pieces of rotating text.

  6. Select the first text element and go to the Interactions panel on the right-hand side of the designer.

  7. Click on the "+" button and choose "While Page is Scrolling" or "While Page is Scrolling in Viewport" depending on when you want the rotation to happen. If you choose "While Page is Scrolling," you will need to place the section with the rotating text in a larger section with enough height to allow scrolling.

  8. In the interaction timeline, add a new step and choose "Rotate" as the action. Set the rotation angle and direction according to your preference.

  9. Copy the interaction to the other text elements with the "Paste Interaction" button next to the interaction name.

  10. Adjust the rotation angle and direction for each text element to create a smooth rotation effect.

  11. Preview your project and scroll through the page or view the section with rotating text in the viewport to see the effect in action.

By following these steps, you can create a rotating text effect in Webflow similar to the example provided in the given link.
