Parallax scrolling techniques Seamus Lyman
What is parallax scrolling? • Parallax scrolling is a java coding that causes objects on a web page to move at a different speed at which the user is scrolling • It allows you to have multiple objects moving at once on the page to create interesting effects • Often multi-layered elements on the pages
My goals • To create something similar to the New York Times coverage of the 2014 Sochi Olympics • At the minimum to mimic parallax scrolling • Find a WordPress theme that gives a parallax scrolling effect
Issues faced • Java Script is not as easy as I originally thought it would be • Just because you find the theme doesn’t make it work, you need the coding sometimes • I’m not a New York Times coder
What I was able to do • Find templates for themes compatible with parallax scrolling • Buy a theme with parallax scrolling effects • Find java script libraries on GitHub • Scrollr • Stellr.js • Superscrollorama • Jquery-parallax • Scrollkit (tutorial)
