Yes, there are tutorials and methods to create a smooth resizing navigation bar in Webflow that adjusts logo size, navbar height, and other elements on scroll. Here’s how you can find and create one using Webflow's built-in tools.
- Webflow's Interactions panel allows you to create a scroll-based animation that affects the navigation bar and its elements.
- Go to "Page Trigger" → "While page is scrolling".
- You can scale down the logo, reduce the height of your nav container, and even adjust padding or typography for a compact look on scroll.
2. Key Elements to Animate
- Navbar Container: Reduce the height gradually (e.g., from 100px to 60px).
- Logo: Use scale for smooth resizing (e.g., from 1 to 0.8).
- Navigation Links: Adjust font size, spacing, or margin as needed.
- Use "Smoothing" or "Easing" functions within animations to make transitions fluid.
3. Tutorial Sources
- Webflow University: Search for the “Change element size on scroll” and “While page is scrolling” interaction tutorials. These walk through resizing and animating elements on scroll.
- YouTube Creators: Try channels like:
- Flux – Clear Webflow-specific tutorials.
- Ran Segall - Flux Academy – Frequently shares advanced scroll animations.
- Timothy Ricks – Great for quirky, advanced UI techniques including scroll-resizing navbars.
4. Third-Party Resources
- Finsweet Youtube & Client-First Blog: Sometimes covers micro-interactions and nav UX.
- Webflow Showcase: You can find cloneable projects with responsive/resizing navbars. Search terms like “responsive nav” or “scroll nav".
- Udesly & Relume Library: Provide pre-built Webflow components (some free, some paid), which include scroll-based nav interactions.
5. Important Considerations
- Avoid fixed pixel sizes. Use percentages or VW for scalability across breakpoints.
- Always test responsiveness on tablet and mobile views inside Webflow Designer.
- Optionally, hide the scroll animation or use different behaviors for mobile for better UX.
Summary
To build a smooth, resizing navigation bar in Webflow on scroll, use Webflow's Interactions with a Page Scroll trigger to animate element sizes and spacing. Tutorials can be found on Webflow University, Timothy Ricks’ YouTube, or by exploring cloneable projects in Webflow’s Showcase.
