Viewing Parallax Scrolling

Parallax Scrolling



User: Roddy 4 years ago
The EverWeb PhotoKit Parallax widget pack was created to provide more options for inserting parallax scrolling items such as a slider, image/text and videos. There are also a few new animations to add more movement on scroll.

There are a couple of widgets that should interest all EverWeb users. One of them is a hidden, slide up footer and the other a progressive navigation. Progressive navigation has proved to be a much better option than drop downs and the now outdated "hamburger" for smaller responsive websites.

If you don't believe that the hamburger menu is pretty much useless for getting visitors engaged in your website, here's a quote from WebDesignerDepot ...

"If you are a web designer, you’ve probably already read dozens of articles describing how the hamburger menu on mobile hurts UX metrics. The main downside is its low discoverability, and this is backed up by actual numbers. In qualitative studies, NNGroup found that hidden navigation is less discoverable than visible or partially visible navigation. This means that when navigation is hidden, users are less likely to use it. Hamburger menus drive engagement down, slow down exploration and confuse people."

How do you use Scrolling Parallax widget? I just want to simply have a fixed background and have content scroll on top of it. Thx

Do you mean that you want a background like the Parallax Background Image or just a fixed background with the content scrolling over it?

Background images really aren't a good idea for responsive pages unless the image is inserted in different sizes for the various devices.

One option is to use a full height fixed hero image as the background. This is much better in terms of download efficiency and image quality.
