Fixed Index Navigation Bar

Code Toolkit
Written By Squarestylist Support

What You'll Create

A fixed pill-shaped navigation bar that sits at the bottom center of the screen, highlighting the active section as visitors scroll through an index or long page.

The Problem It Solves

Long single-page layouts can disorient visitors who lose track of where they are. This creates persistent visual navigation that updates dynamically based on scroll position.

Perfect For

Single-page sites, Portfolio indexes, Landing pages, Parallax scrolling sites, Multi-section homepages.

What Makes This Different

Tracks scroll position and highlights corresponding navigation links. Creates a modern pill-shaped bar with smooth background color transitions on the active item.
