Yes, it is possible to disable scroll on a page in Webflow and use custom "back" and "next" buttons to guide the user to a new section when clicked. Here's how you can achieve this:
- Create your custom "back" and "next" buttons:
- Add two button elements to your page design for the "back" and "next" buttons.
- Customize the styling and positioning of these buttons as per your design requirements.
- Disable scroll on the page:
- Select the body element in the Navigator panel.
- In the Settings panel, go to the Style tab.
- Enable the Overflow: Hidden setting.
- This will prevent the page from scrolling.
- Set up interactions for the buttons:
- Select the "back" button and go to the Interactions panel.
- Choose the trigger for this interaction (e.g., "Click" or "Tap").
- Add an action to the interaction by clicking on the '+' icon.
- Select "Show" from the action options and choose the section you want to navigate to.
- You can add additional actions to create animations or transitions if desired.
- Repeat the same steps for the "next" button, selecting the appropriate section to navigate to.
- Adjust the scrolling behavior:
- By default, when you navigate to a new section using the custom buttons, the page will scroll to that section automatically.
- If you want to customize the scrolling behavior, you can use the Scroll Into View action in the interactions.
- For example, you can set the duration, easing type, and offset for smoother scrolling effects.
- Preview and test your design:
- Use the Webflow preview option to see how your custom buttons and scrolling behavior work together.
- Test the navigation on different devices and screen sizes to ensure a consistent experience for your users.
By following these steps, you can easily disable scroll on a page in Webflow and use custom "back" and "next" buttons to guide users to different sections when clicked.
