There is new name on the web design scene that has caught the attention of many big brand names, as this method of web design, literally adds a new dimension to a 2D screen.
Originally used in classic video gaming, Parallax scrolling is a type of web design where different elements of a website move at different speeds. As a user navigates through parallax websites, images will float on top of other images in several layers. This causes a stunning visual effect that creates a third dimension to the standard website experience. By adding multiple backgrounds, web designers can create a sensation of depth and storytelling. It also allows for countless creative applications.
So how can this add to your brand’s website?
There are many benefits to having a Parallax design on your website, to name a few:
