Scrollytelling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When visitors \u201cpower scroll\u201d through your site, they may scroll past important info and bounce. Scrollytelling<\/a> is a technique that stops them in their tracks and gets them to pay attention. Unlike the traditional intro paragraph, \u201cScrollytelling breaks up the narrative and spreads it across the folds of the website,\u201d says Linor Pinto, brand designer at Wix Studio<\/a>. And just like it sounds, scrolling down the page connects everything into a unified story. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The key, of course, is to tell an engaging story\u2014think less \u201cproduct brochure\u201d and more \u201cproduct adventure.\u201d How does Pinto do it? \u201cMake the scroll exciting with website animations<\/a> and effects that come and go across each fold. Pull in text, shapes or images inspired by your brand identity. Ensure smooth transitions and make the experience mobile-friendly. You can also add creative effects like parallax scrolling<\/a> or zoom-ins for a more immersive experience.\u201d Tell the story that best fits your objective, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
