Stacked Folder List

What You'll Create

A creative stacked folder effect in Squarespace where list items stack on top of each other as users scroll, with folder tab-style titles. Items feature a watercolor texture overlay and custom tab shapes.

The Problem It Solves

Standard list sections display items in sequence without any layering or stacking effect. When you want a creative folder/file cabinet aesthetic with items that stack as users scroll, you need CSS sticky positioning combined with decorative mask shapes.

Perfect For

Service packages, Course modules, Portfolio categories, Process steps, Team departments

What Makes This Different

Combines scroll-aware positioning with custom mask shapes for folder tab titles. Includes texture overlays with visual blending effects and individual color customization per item. Items stack naturally as users scroll down.
