I would love to see a parallax feature in a premium template. I would definitely upgrade from free subscription to premium if you guys made a template with parallax.

I've made several parallax headers but only for static html. If anyone knows how to incorporate that into a joomla template, please pm me. You can learn how to make them here:

There are only two great Joomla examples (but I know shape 5 would do a better job) that I could find:

Parallax is cool! But quite old! I wonder why people haven't used it more often. Possibly UX reasons? It detracts from people who wish to acheive a goal on a site.

You may spend your whole life optimising for conversions, something like this is a massive distraction from converting! Probably more useful for artistic sites or perhaps mini-sites for the wow factor.

Shape 5
