When setting up your about page, you’ll most likely want to feature your team members on there as well. By doing so, you allow visitors to connect with the people behind your company. If you’re looking for a way to animate your team member section on scroll, you’ll love this tutorial. We’ll recreate a beautiful self-scrolling team member carousel that moves as your visitors are scrolling down the page. You’ll be able to download the JSON file for free as well!

Let’s Start Recreating!
Add New Section
Spacing
Start by adding a new regular section to the page you’re working on. Open the section settings and add some custom padding across different screen sizes.
- Top Padding: 200px (Desktop), 100px (Tablet & Phone)
- Bottom Padding: 200px (Desktop), 100px (Tablet & Phone)
Overflows
To make sure no horizontal scrollbar appears in our design, we’ll hide the section overflows in the advanced tab.
- Horizontal Overflow: Hidden
- Vertical Overflow: Hidden
Add Row #1
Column Structure
Continue by adding a new row to the section using the following column structure:
Sizing
Without adding any modules yet, open the row settings, move on to the design tab and modify the width and max width in the sizing settings.
- Width: 90%
- Max Width: 1580px
Spacing
We’re adding some custom top and bottom padding too.
- Top Padding: 100px
- Bottom Padding: 100px
Add Text Module to Column
Add H2 Content
Time to add modules, starting with a first Text Module. Enter some H2 content of your choice.
H2 Text Settings
Move on to the module’s design tab and change the H2 text settings as follows:
- Heading 2 Font: Quicksand
- Heading 2 Font Weight: Semi Bold
- Heading 2 Text Color: #000000
- Heading 2 Text Size: 70px (Desktop), 50px (Tablet), 40px (Phone)
Add Divider Module to Column
Visibility
Then, add a Divider Module. Make sure the ‘Show Divider’ option is enabled.
- Show Divider: Yes
Line
Make some changes to the line settings next.
- Line Color: #edf000
- Line Style: Solid
- Line Position: Top
Sizing
And complete the module settings by changing the sizing settings accordingly:
- Divider Weight: 20px
- Width: 11%
- Module Alignment: Left
- Height: 20px
Add Row #2
Column Structure
On to the next row! Use the following column structure:
Sizing
Without adding any modules yet, open the row settings and modify the sizing settings as follows:
- Use Custom Gutter Width: Yes
- Gutter Width: 2
- Width: 100%
- Max Width: 100%
Spacing
Then, add some left and right padding on smaller screen sizes only.
- Left Padding: 5% (Tablet & Phone Only)
- Right Padding: 5% (Tablet & Phone Only)
Column Settings (5x)
Now, in the next three steps of this tutorial, we’ll make some changes to the columns. Apply all three steps to each one of the columns in your row.
Gradient Background
First, add a gradient background to each column.
- Color 1: rgba(255,255,255,0)
- Color 2: rgba(0,0,0,0.84)
- Gradient Type: Linear
- Start Position: 25%
- End Position: 86%
- Place Gradient Above Background Image: Yes
Background Image
Then, upload a background image of your choice. This background image represents each team member so use a different image for each column.
- Background Image Size: Cover
- Background Image Position: Center
Main Element
Complete the column settings by adding some custom CSS to the tablet’s main element of each column. These lines of CSS code will help us place the columns below each other on tablet, instead of having two next to each other.
width: 100% !important; margin: 50px 0px 50px 0px !important;
Add Person Module to Column
Add Content
To share the team member info, we’ll use a Person Module. Add the first Person Module to column 1 and use some content of your choice.
Remove Image
Then, remove the image. We’re using the column background image instead.
Background Image
We’ll then add an image overlay as the module’s background image. You can find the one we’re using by downloading the folder at the beginning of this tutorial.
- Background Image Size: Cover
- Background Image Position: Center
Title Text Settings
Move on to the module’s design tab and change the title text settings as follows:
- Title Heading Level: H3
- Title Font: Quicksand
- Title Font Weight: Bold
- Title Text Color: #ffffff
- Title Text Size: 230%
Body Text Settings
Modify the body text settings too.

- Body Text Color: #ffffff
- Body Line Height: 2.2em
Position Text Settings
Then, make some changes to the position text settings.
- Position Font: Open Sans
- Position Text Color: #edf000
Spacing
And complete the module settings by adding some custom padding values to the spacing settings.
- Top Padding: 70%
- Bottom Padding: 10%
- Left Padding: 10%
- Right Padding: 10%
Clone Person Module 4x
Once you’ve completed the Person Module, you can clone the entire module four times.
Place Duplicates in Remaining Columns
Place the duplicate modules in the four remaining columns of the row. Make sure you change the content as well.
Turn Row into Self-Scrolling Carousel
Modify Row #2 Sizing
Now, to turn this row into a self-scrolling team member carousel, we’ll need to reopen the row settings and change the width and max width in the sizing settings.
- Width: 180%
- Max Width: 220% (Desktop), 100% (Tablet & Phone)
Add Row #2 Horizontal Motion
Complete the row settings by adding some horizontal motion to the scroll effect settings in the advanced tab and you’re done!
- Enable Horizontal Motion: Yes
- Starting Offset:
- Desktop: 2.5
- Tablet & Phone: 0
- Mid Offset: 0 (at 40%)
- Ending Offset:
- Desktop: -25 (at 62%)

ET’s almost daily scroll effect tutorial. Come on Guy’s we need speed…

Well, apparently everybody’s happy about it, it seems that is the most implemented effect ever created…..(never seen a smooth example of scrolling, all of them jerky and visually unappealing….but hey, what do I know, I’m in the minority).
