The art of web design: Sticky Cards

Sticky cards are a modern and interesting design element that can add a unique touch to a website.

They can be used to showcase important information, such as featured products or services, while keeping them visible to the user as they scroll down the page. Sticky cards can also be used to create a sense of hierarchy and guide the user's attention to specific content.

However, it's important to use them judiciously as they can also clutter up the design and distract the user from the main content.
