Immersive section with cards that stack on scroll. Depth effect with blur, scale and progress indicator.

Stacking Cards

The Stacking Cards section creates an immersive effect where cards stack on top of each other as the user scrolls. Each card takes up the full screen (or a portion) and reveals the next one by compressing/blurring. Ideal for storytelling, brand presentations or campaign pages.

💡Use different color palettes for each card to create a rich visual experience on scroll. The color change between cards reinforces the sense of narrative progression.
⚠️The Stacking Cards section is very immersive but can be disorienting if too long. Limit yourself to 3-5 cards for a smooth experience. Beyond that, the user may lose patience.
ℹ️Snap scroll forces scrolling to stop on each card. It is very satisfying on desktop but can be frustrating on mobile. Test on both devices before enabling this option.
