Parallax with CSS only
This 8 layer vertical parallax is made in Webflow with some lines of custom CSS code. No Javascript.
All images are SVG files. The method is long, has some downsides & requires a bit of fine tuning. You also can’t really control the length of the final page. I don’t recommend this method for a full production site. It’s more of an experiment. You can duplicate this site and analyze the settings. Below is the custom CSS code added to the site’s dashboard.
