#### How To Create A Parallax Effect Section

**Step 1: Set The Parallax Background Image**

1. Select the section that you want to add the parallax background to.
2. On the inspector panel, select the **Styling** tab.
3. Find the **Background** parameter and select the **Parallax** option.
4. Then select the image you want to set as the background.

**Step 2: Adjust The Settings**

1. Click on **More settings** button after you set up the parallax image.
2. You can see the settings for parallax speed and overlay color.

#### How To Create A Full-width Section

A full width section in web design refers to a horizontal block that stretches across the entire width of the browser window, from left to right, fitting any screen size. This design helps differentiate sections on a webpage, making it more visually appealing and easier to read.

**Step 1: Set The Full-width Section**

1. Select the section that you want to set full-width.
2. On the inspector panel, select the **General** tab.
3. Find the **Set fixed width** parameter and change to **No**.

![](https://2800568630-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FeLf471SpmnojuhVGQb2E%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-bc125e2b286f831b0c8a9204e2204a386e4a1186%2FAD_4nXdkYyvZemSwonJciZV_DAhqloZoFhrnJvNQfLTYFY7rkZJFlD7sH6DxgPox5LRRWFHy50HeWwjAg3HkIQf4VNqDhhQ3mUzR01_BVTlu4pl8nyrE6WI-YAWrhvAD9RddbjdXUpvXR2t6yh0MIrE8HQkeywCDPvMOO-g18bVpC-nvghQ-4.png?alt=media)

**Step 2: Set The Padding For The Section**

1. On the inspector panel, select the **Styling** tab.
2. Find the **Padding** parameter and adjust the padding left and right. You should use the horizontal padding for the section to prevent content from pushing to the edges.

![](https://2800568630-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FeLf471SpmnojuhVGQb2E%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-ee8ee09d4d273eaf2cafa58d4d7610d8ab4cb388%2FAD_4nXdc4Oq4RqrHvcV8s7HSvyB7psNTdatp5rVUoex0cdtOG8vRitnTB_xotRDQwoCwIQeNQds6xZVHnuQPjcIfor4QzXHRNVxk59BUKUrElMKsTfuivVa7ezIo48b_115QRxOod3GHzuxM9ySX2CTOhAkeywCDPvMOO-g18bVpC-nvghQ-4.png?alt=media)

#### How To Create A Sticky Section

A sticky section on a website sticks in place as you scroll, making it always visible.

**Step 1: Set The Sticky Section**

1. Select the section that you want to make sticky.
2. On the inspector panel, select the **General** tab.
3. Find the **Enable sticky top** parameter and change it to Yes.

Now the section will be sticky to the top, and a little sticky indicator will appear on the section.

![](https://2800568630-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FeLf471SpmnojuhVGQb2E%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-10851cdcc4cc558a5461eb2835c05a5735e59b42%2FAD_4nXfAM-z8m2k_visW282t6ht47DGQOkyHeEygRqPu-fRvCxoKKdvlrbySaEQOy42flmtC4WB_bk3F7ExtsmKVXMuFfi4opvO_qm7_8RuG0qhpGkGJjrlb5CQ-wsfWH5FdPpYmNytssShhA6U2sFn3keywCDPvMOO-g18bVpC-nvghQ-4.png?alt=media)

**Step 2: Adjust The Settings**

Adjust the following settings for your sticky section:

* **Top offset**: This sets the space between the section and the top of the screen. For example, a 20px top offset means it will remain 20 pixels away from the top.
* Apply **Elevation**: This determines which elements appear on top when there's overlap. A higher elevation means the sticky section will cover other content that has a lower elevation, ensuring it stays visible.

### Tips And Best Practices

#### Choose High-quality Imagery For Parallax Effect

Choose high-quality imagery to maintain focus and enhance the depth effect. This keeps your page elegant and engaging without overwhelming the user.

#### Use High-resolution Images for Full-width Sections

Use high-resolution images to avoid quality loss on larger screens. They make your sections visually striking and effective for highlighting key messages or calls to action.

#### Don’t Overuse Sticky Sections

Employ these for essential elements (like navigation or key CTAs) to keep them accessible. However, avoid overusing to prevent screen clutter and distraction from the main content.

#### Switch Column

If you have a section with more than one column and want to switch column position, you can follow the steps below:

* Select the row that includes your columns
* Navigate to the **General** tab > **Contents** > **Columns**
* Click and hold the handle of each column to switch position as you want

Note that this action will change the order of the columns across all view modes.

#### Switch Column Position On Mobile Only

* In Legacy Editor

For sections with a layout consisting of one column for an image or video and another for text, you can customize their arrangement specifically for mobile viewers. Here’s a simple guide:

1. Select the row that includes your columns
2. Navigate to the **Styling** tab, choose **Display** style, select **Flex**
3. Set **Flex Wrap** to **Wrap Reverse**.

This action will change the order of the columns, allowing you to customize their arrangement for mobile viewing only.

For example: Say you have a section where the text appears above an image on mobile. To flip them on mobile view and keep the current layout on other view modes, applying **Flex wrap** > **Wrap reverse** will move the image above the text.
