Parallax Scrolling Templates

Home » Design Inspiration » Parallax Scrolling Templates

If you remember, a while back we provided a roundup on parallax scrolling websites (10 Awesome Parallax Scrolling Sites).  Developing a parallax scrolling website can be rather complex and requires a fair amount of coding in jQuery, JavaScript, HTML, and CSS.

Well, that was the case until these pre-made templates appeared! If you want a website that takes advantage of the parallax scrolling effects, you should use one of these parallax scrolling templates. so let’s take a look at a few parallax scrolling templates that are out there for us to work with.

Let’s start with the parallax scrolling themes and templates that are out there for us to work with.

Slide One

Slide One is a WordPress theme that offers a nice, clean, simple look with one main column spanning from top to bottom down the middle of the page.  The background images scroll and provide the parallax effect, while the navigation and social icon links maintain a fixed position.  I also like the expanding and collapsing option for the footer, quite clever.

Nonus

Nonus Parallax Effect WordPress Theme

Nonus is a parallax scrolling website that has singe page and multi-page variants. It supports WooCommerce, Slider Revolution, Layer Slider and other premium plugins. The theme is retina ready and responsive that makes it easy to optimize on various screen sizes.

Old Bakery

Old Bakery puts a refreshing spin on the standard parallax scrolling site.  The background image is what provides the effect, but rather than making every background image a page they are used to alternate between a page with a staged shot of the baked good with some text and a full-screen, close-up, detailed picture of some baked goods between each page with text on it.  A very cool concept for this HTML5 template, and for only $14 and a little bit of tweaking you could make it your very own!

Impreza – Retina Responsive WordPress Theme

Impreza is a premium WordPress theme with a fully responsive design. This template is customizable and it comes with powerful features such as parallax effect, animations, and more.

  1. Great review!

    Are there any parallax website templates that you can just drag and drop
    like most six sites. I am definitely code challenged : )

  2. Nice collection of parallax templates. We have a new Responsive HTML5 Parallax Template for free download. Please consider to include it in your template collections.

    Thank you!

  3. Nice set of parallex templates, I remember the first time we saw the Impress at PCBUS – we were really impressed (if not amazed) with the quality of this template and easiness of working with it. I see there are a few other “classics” here 🙂

  4. Hi Scott,
    some really good examples there, and some great inspiration for getting to grips with parrallax techniques.

    I especially like the Hero template, as it comes as being responsive straight out of the box.

    saying that i could also see myself using scrollfolio too. Love the way the icons on each section scroll into view (and think its more readable/user friendly than the sense template which does a similar thing)
