Look inside
Smooth scrolling is one of the most important features of any portfolio page! In this liveProject, you’ll utilize CSS—including animation timelines—to set up different features for when a user scrolls your page. You’ll lock your header to stay visible on screen at all times, ensure that the top of different sections snap to the top of the window as users scroll, establish a progress bar in the header to show how far you’ve scrolled, and more. When you’ve finished this final polish, your portfolio page will look great!
This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
