To use fullpage.js on the homepage and switch to scroll on a mobile device using Webflow, you can follow these step-by-step instructions:

  1. Create a new Webflow project: Start by creating a new project or opening an existing one in Webflow.

  2. Create your homepage: Design your homepage layout in Webflow, keeping in mind the desired sections you want to display using fullpage.js.

  3. Install fullpage.js: Go to the fullpage.js website (https://alvarotrigo.com/fullPage/) and download the latest version of the library. Extract the downloaded files.

  4. Upload fullpage.js files: In Webflow, go to the Project Settings, then click on the Custom Code tab. Scroll down to the Footer Code section and upload the fullpage.js files (minified CSS and JavaScript files) by clicking the "Choose a file" button. Make sure to upload both the CSS and JavaScript files.

  5. Create a new page: In Webflow's Pages panel, create a new page that will serve as the mobile version of your homepage.

  6. Design the mobile version: Open the new mobile page and design a simplified version of your homepage specifically for mobile devices, keeping in mind that this version should be scrollable.

  7. Implement fullpage.js: Return to your homepage design and select the body element. Go to the Settings panel (on the right-hand side) and add the following custom code to the <head> section:

    ```html

    ```

    This code checks if the user is on a mobile device and only initializes fullpage.js if they are not. This ensures that fullpage.js will not interfere with the scroll behavior on mobile.

  8. Structure your sections: In the Webflow Designer, make sure your homepage sections are nested inside a main #fullpage element. Each section should have a unique identifier or class name. This will be used by fullpage.js to navigate through the sections.

  9. Add navigation: If you want to include navigation elements to scroll between the sections, you can add custom designed navigation buttons or dots. You can also use the built-in Webflow Navbar component and customize it accordingly.

  10. Preview and publish: Preview your site in both desktop and mobile viewports to verify that the fullpage.js functionality works as expected on desktop and switches to scroll on mobile devices. Once you're satisfied with the results, publish your site to make it live.

By following these steps, you will be able to use fullpage.js on your homepage and seamlessly switch to scroll on mobile devices using Webflow.
