Chapter 8: Advanced Interactions

The previous chapter introduced you to the basics of creating transitions, interactions, and animations. In this chapter, we'll take this a couple of steps further and practice how to build more complex and useful interactions.

Specifically, we'll cover the following topics:

  • Creating parallax effects
  • Hiding and showing the top navigation bar when scrolling up and down
  • Creating a fixed page element that allows the user to go back to the top of the page quickly

Each of these will display the versatility of Webflow's interaction capabilities and hopefully arm you with enough knowledge and confidence to try building custom interactions of your own.

Let's begin by jumping straight into creating one of the most popular effects you'll see on the web today: parallax effects.
