Future of Web Design – Parallax

Experts say that the first five seconds are the most critical when a user clicks on a website link. If a website gets loaded quickly, but the appearance is lull, dull, and boring, then it is very likely that the user closes the link and moves ahead to the next. No doubt, an attractive webpage with lively animation and eye-catching visual effects force users to stay on the page and explore further.

Website developers are always interested in new-age tools that help in creating great website designs. Among all popular tools today, Parallax stands distinctly with user-friendly and creative scrolling effects that give a phenomenally rich visual experience to the viewers.

 

What is Parallax?

Parallax is a way of arranging contents in multiple layers that may or may not move synchronously. The speed and animation of different layers can be configured separately for magnificent visual effects. Content movement can be arranged in a horizontal or vertical manner. When entire content moves, then it gives the effect of turning pages of a book. Movement of different sections with varying speed gives an animation effect.

 

The future belongs to it
