Can a parallax scrolling effect, where the page scrolls over a background image or different images in different sections, be achieved in Webflow without coding? If not, can the background images stay static while the page scrolls over them?

TL;DR
  • Use Webflow Interactions to create a parallax scrolling effect by selecting a section, opening the Interactions panel, creating a new page trigger with 'While page is scrolling', and adjusting the scroll animation.
  • Set background images to stay static as the page scrolls by choosing 'Fixed' in the background attachment setting within the Style panel.
  • Repeat for each section as needed to apply the effect throughout the page.
