One of our favourite highlights from @Oli_Gardner’s talk at CTAConf 2017 was his tidbit on asymmetrical design - but more specifically, false bottoms.


Implementing angled page sections is is a subtle way to indicate that more content exists below the fold, and subconsciously prompts visitors to scroll down to find it.



This isn’t a native Unbounce feature, but we’ve put together a quick CSS script that will allow you to achieve this effect in Unbounce quickly and easily.


You can see this in action (built in Unbounce) here:

🚨

This is not an official Unbounce feature. This functionality is based entirely on third party code, and has only been tested in limited applications. Since this isn’t a supported Unbounce feature, our support team will be unable to assist if things go awry. So if you are not comfortable with HTML, Javascript and CSS, please consider consulting an experienced developer.





Step 1.


🔗 Get the latest script here: https://gist.github.com/noahub/783cf6bc402bf4cc99cb84aa8927c8f8


Step 2.


Copy the CSS and paste in your Stylesheets


Step 3.


Create a page section and replace the the ID in the script with the target page section ID.


Step 4.


Use the #lp-pom-block-34:after CSS rule-set to give a section an angled bottom and #lp-pom-block-34:before to give a section an angled top.


Step 5.


Optional: Change the value of skewY in the CSS to increase or decrease the angle or your top/bottom.



That’s it!

That looks like what mine looked like before changing the background to linear. Feel free to share your code in the thread or dm it to me and I can try and help.


@Noah @Stefano When I apply an angle of more than 7 deg I start to see wierdness. AKA the part of the bg that is angled breaks away from the rest of the background and some white bleeds through. Any way to get around this?

Thank you for this, finally have a new unbounce site to actually test this on.


I think it’s going to kill it


Hi man,


I am trying the linear code, but it only cancels the angles. How did you solve the repeating situation?



Hi Yosh, when I change the code like this, the angle doesn’t work at all. Any idea why?


I’m using an image, as I need a gradient in an angle that Unbounce doesn’t support.


Thank you @Noah !!!


I’m having issues with the overlay in my background not accepting the angled section of the page. Any insight here?

@Noah


Anyone know what to change -3.75deg to in for the angle to go right bottom? With -3.75deg, it goes left bottom.


@Mark_H


CSS

transform: skewY(-3.75deg); /change to increase/decrease angle/


You should be able to do some drastic tweaks editing the skewY figure


When viewing these on ultrawide monitors I am getting these breaks. Is there an easy fix for this one?




This does not work.


Hey guys, Ivan here again. 🙂


As always, love the work you are doing - please keep it up, absolutely amazing features!!!


I made a video showing how to set this up live inside of your Unbounce account, including changing the direction of the skew, and other features you might have wanted to implement.


Here is the video on YouTube:



Let me know if you have questions!
