Sticky Stacking Sections

What You'll Create

As users scroll, each section sticks momentarily at the top of the viewport before the next section slides up and covers it - creating a satisfying card-stacking effect that adds depth and visual interest to standard vertical page navigation.

The Problem It Solves

Standard Squarespace pages scroll linearly with each section simply replacing the previous one in view. This creates a flat, unremarkable browsing experience. The sticky stacking effect transforms ordinary scrolling into an engaging, layered journey that keeps visitors interested and subtly guides them through content.

Perfect For

Landing pages with distinct value propositions, portfolio presentations with project reveals, storytelling sites with sequential narratives, product pages with feature sections, agency sites showcasing services.

What Makes This Different

This is a pure CSS technique - no JavaScript required, making it lightweight and reliable. Each section sticks at the top of the screen momentarily before the next section slides up and covers it, creating a satisfying layered card effect. The technique automatically excludes itself from the Squarespace editor so you can still edit normally. It works on all sections by default, or you can target specific ones.
