Create Horizontal Scroll Cards like Netflix with GenerateBlocks

Ever noticed how Netflix makes browsing through movies and shows so smooth with those horizontal scroll cards? It’s like flipping through a digital magazine, and guess what? You can create that same effect on your website using GenerateBlocks. Let’s dive into how you can make your web pages look sleek and user-friendly, just like Netflix, together with The Admin Bar.

Understanding the Need for Horizontal Scroll Cards

On a mobile screen, cards often stack on top of each other, making a tall tower that you have to scroll down forever to see. Horizontal scroll cards lay those cards side by side, allowing users to scroll sideways. Here’s why this approach is appealing:

• Mobile-Friendly
  No more endless scrolling down.
• Intuitive
  Users already know how to scroll sideways.
• Stylish
  It adds a modern touch to your website.

Setting Up Horizontal Scroll Cards with GenerateBlocks

Here’s a more detailed guide to creating horizontal scroll cards using GenerateBlocks:

1. Start with a Container
   Add a section that will act as a container for your cards.
2. Create a Headline
   Add a headline for the section, such as “Check out our courses.”
3. Add a Grid
   Insert a four-column grid with 20 pixels of Gap between the elements.
4. Style a Single Card
   Style one card with padding, border radius, background, and images. You can also add an image overlay and adjust the opacity.
5. Add Content to the Card
   Insert a headline (e.g., “Guitar Courses”) and adjust the color, size, and alignment.
6. Duplicate the Card
   Duplicate the styled card four times and replace the content and images for different courses (e.g., bass, drum, piano).
7. Adjust for Mobile and Tablet
   Customize the appearance for different devices, ensuring a good look on desktop, tablet, and mobile.
8. Add Custom CSS for Scrolling
   In the customizer, add the following CSS to enable horizontal scrolling:

   .horizontal-scroll {
     flex-wrap: no-wrap;
     overflow-x: auto;
   }
   

    

9. Adjust the Size of the Boxes
   Change the size of the boxes on tablet and mobile to make it obvious that there’s more content to scroll.
10. Reduce the Gap Between Cards
    Adjust the gap between cards to make it clear when users have reached the end of the scroll.

By following these steps, you can create a horizontal scroll cards section that looks great on all devices and offers a smooth user experience.
