Sticky Scrolling Blog Layout

Code Toolkit
Written By Squarestylist Support

What You'll Create

A split-screen blog post layout with a sticky image on one side while content scrolls on the other. The image remains fixed in view as readers scroll through the article text.

The Problem It Solves

Standard blog posts stack content vertically, which can feel monotonous for longer articles. When you want a more engaging two-column layout where images stay visible while text scrolls, you need CSS Grid with sticky positioning.

Perfect For

Long-form articles, Case studies, Portfolio pieces, Visual storytelling, Feature content

What Makes This Different

This technique uses CSS Grid to create a two-column layout with the first element (typically an image) set to sticky positioning. Horizontal rules can trigger new sticky images throughout the post. Images automatically fill viewport height for maximum impact.
