Yes, there is a plugin called Smoove.js that can be used to smooth out the scroll motion of the mouse wheel in Webflow. Smoove.js is a lightweight, dependency-free JavaScript library that adds smooth scrolling and parallax effects to your website. It provides an easy-to-use API that allows you to control the speed and easing of the scroll animation, making it perfect for creating a seamless and polished scrolling experience.

To use Smoove.js in Webflow, follow these steps:

  1. Add Smoove.js to your Webflow project:
  • Download the Smoove.js library from the official website (https://smoove.dev/).
  • Extract the downloaded file, and copy the "smoove.min.js" file to your Webflow project's assets folder.
  1. Link Smoove.js to your Webflow project:
  • In your Webflow project, open the page where you want to implement smooth scrolling.
  • Go to the Project Settings panel on the right-hand side.
  • In the "Custom Code" section, click on the "Add Some Custom Code" button.
  • In the "Head Code" section, add the following code to link the Smoove.js file:
    ```html ```
  1. Enable Smoove.js on your Webflow page:
  • Select the element or section of your Webflow page where you want to enable smooth scrolling.
  • In the Element Settings panel on the right-hand side, click on the "Add Field" button.
  • Add a new custom attribute called "data-smooth" and set its value to "true". This will enable Smoove.js on that element.
  • Optionally, you can add additional custom attributes like "data-offset" or "data-speed" to control the scroll behavior further.
  1. Customize the scroll animation:
  • To further customize the scroll animation, you can add additional custom attributes to the element with Smoove.js.
  • For example, you can use the "data-offset" attribute to adjust the scroll trigger point, or the "data-speed" attribute to control the scroll speed.
  • You can experiment with different values and combinations to achieve the desired scroll effect.

By following these steps, you can easily implement smooth scrolling on your Webflow site using the Smoove.js plugin. Remember to test your website across different devices and browsers to ensure a consistent and optimized scrolling experience.
