Portfolio Marquee

The Portfolio Marquee widget allows you to display portfolio projects in a continuously scrolling horizontal layout. This marquee-style presentation creates a modern and dynamic visual effect that is commonly used in creative portfolios, agency websites, and design showcases.

Instead of displaying portfolio items in a traditional grid, the marquee layout moves portfolio items across the screen automatically, creating an engaging animation effect while still allowing full control over portfolio queries, layout elements, and styling.
