Prompt
Add Your Brief

Add your context below. It will be included with the prompt when you copy or download.

Create an HTML/CSS/JavaScript interaction study with explicit start, active and completed states and a readable prefers-reduced-motion fallback for [PROJECT] and [AUDIENCE]. The task is: Scroll Story Section.

Required content and structure

Reveal three narrative stages as the reader scrolls through a bounded section.

Use [APPROVED_CONTENT] as the source of names, dates, figures, claims and destinations. List missing inputs before substituting anything. If a demonstration is needed, label its content as fictional. Do not invent customer quotes, rankings, partner logos or product capabilities.

Design direction

Use [BRAND_RULES] and the design system already selected in the project. If no system is supplied, start with this direction: white, charcoal and vivid green highlights; clearly labeled start, transition and end states. Keep type, spacing and color roles consistent. Prioritize the task over decorative elements and avoid a generic collection of unrelated cards.

Content preparation

Prepare three narrative stages and the content that belongs to each. Define a bounded section and a complete static reading order.

Layout and behavior

Use scroll position to reveal the narrative without taking control away from the reader. Keep captions and images connected and avoid pinning more content than the screen can display.

Task-specific acceptance check

  • Keep all content readable without animation and avoid trapping scroll.
  • Scroll in both directions, resize midway and enable reduced motion.
  • All three stages should remain readable without animation, with no trapped or skipped content.

Implementation and review

Keep text editable. Use semantic structure, descriptive controls, visible keyboard focus and appropriate empty/error states. Check narrow and wide layouts. Respect reduced-motion preferences. Preserve any existing project framework and dependencies; do not silently replace the stack. Return the editable files and explain any incomplete behavior or unsupported inputs. Review this specific task before proposing extra features.

Make the complete information and action available without animation. Provide pause or dismissal where relevant. Document triggers and transitions; do not replace actual progress with a decorative timer.

Reference attachment and reconstruction goal

Attach reference.webp from this prompt’s download bundle alongside this prompt in OpenDesign. Build an editable result with a similar composition and hierarchy; do not embed the whole reference image as the finished interface. Preserve approved project content and brand rules if they conflict with fictional sample labels. If the image is missing or unreadable, ask for it instead of claiming visual fidelity.

Reference composition and content

Use the attached reference.webp as the visual reference for Scroll Story Section. Before building, identify the major regions from top to bottom, their relative widths and heights, alignment, spacing, typography hierarchy, surface colors, borders, imagery and repeated components. Preserve those relationships rather than substituting a generic template. Required task content: Reveal three narrative stages as the reader scrolls through a bounded section. Use the following task-specific layout guidance when translating the image into editable elements: Use scroll position to reveal the narrative without taking control away from the reader. Keep captions and images connected and avoid pinning more content than the screen can display.

Interaction specification

The reference is a static concept: the behavior below is a requirement to implement, not proof that the picture already works. Copy the customized prompt into your working project. Start with the core task: Reveal three narrative stages as the reader scrolls through a bounded section. Keep all content readable without animation and avoid trapping scroll. For each visible control, specify its trigger, affected state and feedback; implement local changes with consistent state across related views. Give search and filters real results, selection controls an explicit active state, and save actions visible pending/success/failure feedback where relevant. Do not add unrelated workflows. Use proper links for navigation, buttons for actions and accessible names for icon controls. Do not imply a backend operation succeeded when only a local demo changed.

Visual comparison and delivery

  1. Compare the result with the attached image at matching proportions. Review major region placement, relative image sizes, line breaks, spacing, typography hierarchy, contrast, active states and content density before polishing decorative details.
  2. Then test the narrow layout without squeezing desktop text into tiny labels.
  3. Keep logos, photos and icons as separate assets and all meaningful labels editable. List any unavailable fonts/assets and any intentional departures. Return the working files plus a concise account of implemented behavior and remaining integrations; do not promise a pixel-identical result from the prompt alone.

How to Write a Scroll Story Section Design Prompt

Use this scroll story section design prompt to reveal three narrative stages as the reader scrolls through a bounded section.

The reference is an AI-generated concept. The instructions below describe what to build and test; the image does not demonstrate working behavior.

Keep the Narrative Understandable Without Scroll Effects

A scroll story uses motion to connect stages, but the text must remain intelligible when motion is unavailable.

AI-generated visual concept for scroll story section
Scroll Story Section — compare the overall hierarchy with the layout instructions below.

Hidden or overlapping stages can break the story's sequence. Use scroll position to reveal the narrative without taking control away from the reader. Keep captions and images connected and avoid pinning more content than the screen can display.

From the Prompt

Use scroll position to reveal the narrative without taking control away from the reader.

Make It Your Own

Define three [NARRATIVE_STAGES] with a bounded start and end. Keep each stage's content available in document order and provide a reduced-motion reading sequence.

Prepare the Scroll Story Section Content

The active frame unfolds a sequence of trip-planning steps; specify what appears at each scroll position and keep the content readable without motion.

Prepare three narrative stages and the content that belongs to each. Define a bounded section and a complete static reading order.

From the Prompt

Reveal three narrative stages as the reader scrolls through a bounded section.

Make It Your Own

For [PROJECT], use [APPROVED_CONTENT] as the source for this scroll story section. Prepare three narrative stages and the content that belongs to each. Define a bounded section and a complete static reading order. Identify missing inputs before replacing them with demonstration content.

Scroll Past and Back Through the Section

The completed frame ends with a clear action; define the destination and preserve a static reading path for reduced motion.

Check that the reader can leave the sequence naturally and revisit a stage without losing its caption or encountering an empty pinned region. Scroll in both directions, resize midway and enable reduced motion. All three stages should remain readable without animation, with no trapped or skipped content.

From the Prompt

Keep all content readable without animation and avoid trapping scroll.

Make It Your Own

Review the scroll story section against this requirement: Keep all content readable without animation and avoid trapping scroll. Scroll in both directions, resize midway and enable reduced motion. All three stages should remain readable without animation, with no trapped or skipped content. Preserve approved content and revise only the parts that fail this check.

Review Your Scroll Story Section Result

The preview is a static storyboard. It does not demonstrate working animation, measured performance or accessibility. Test the implemented interaction and reduced-motion path.

  • Scroll in both directions, resize midway and enable reduced motion. All three stages should remain readable without animation, with no trapped or skipped content.

Follow-Up Prompt

Use this after the first result. It narrows the revision to the most important part of this task.

Refine the current scroll story section. Scroll in both directions, resize midway and enable reduced motion. All three stages should remain readable without animation, with no trapped or skipped content. Preserve the approved content and visual direction; change only the parts needed to resolve these issues.
