Parallax Effect
Parallax Effect in web design uses different speeds for background and foreground elements when scrolling, creating a sense of depth on a flat screen. Designers often use this effect to guide attention to important content or to make a website feel more dynamic. Parallax scrolling can be achieved with simple CSS and JavaScript, and it works best when used in moderation to keep the page smooth and easy to use. A unique fact is that parallax can help reduce perceived loading times, as users focus on the movement and feel like the site is more responsive while content loads.
