Smooth Scroll in a Wix Website Guide

Step 1: Adding the Custom Code

To enable smooth scrolling, we will use Lenis.js. Below is the custom code you need to add to your Wix website:

<script src="https://unpkg.com/@studio-freight/lenis@1.0.42/dist/lenis.min.js"></script>

<style>

/* Ensure the page height is correctly set for Lenis */

html.lenis, html.lenis body {

height: auto;

}

/* Override default scroll behavior */

.lenis.lenis-smooth {

scroll-behavior: auto !important;

}

/* Prevent scrolling when necessary */

.lenis.lenis-stopped {

overflow: hidden;

}

</style>

<script>

// Initialize Lenis with smooth scrolling configuration

const lenis = new Lenis({

lerp: 0.1, // Damping effect for smoothness

wheelMultiplier: 0.7, // Adjust scroll speed

gestureOrientation: 'vertical', // Enable vertical scrolling

normalizeWheel: false, // Preserve native wheel behavior

smoothTouch: false // Disable smooth scrolling for touch devices

});

// Animation frame loop to keep Lenis active

function raf(time) {

lenis.raf(time);

requestAnimationFrame(raf);

}

requestAnimationFrame(raf);

</script>
