Is horizontal scroll good UX?

Horizontal scrolling involves more effort since users typically have to move their mouse pointer to a specifically designated area on the screen and drag (while holding the mouse button) or click. In addition to this, some horizontal scrolling implementations make the design judder and hence impair user experience.

Is horizontal scroll good?

Horizontal scrolling is a good option for design portfolios and photography sites where users need to go through multiple images quickly and easily. Navigating vertically in these situations is chaotic and puts a lot of strain on the user.

How do you implement horizontal scrolling?
