Enabling Parallax Scrolling:

  1. Open Site Styles panel
  2. Navigate to Main: Overlay section
  3. Check "Enable parallax effect"
  4. Enable "Smart crop" (recommended)
  5. Save changes

Adding Featured Images:

  • Page featured images create banners
  • Index section featured images create backgrounds
  • Verify parallax is enabled if effect isn't visible

Optimization Tips:

  • Mix parallax and non-parallax content for enhanced depth
  • Add text overlays and buttons that scroll at normal speed
  • Apply color filters through Overlay Color in site styles
  • Keep total page size under 15MB for smooth scrolling
  • Consider cropping impacts on parallax effectiveness

Troubleshooting:

  • Ensure parallax is enabled in site settings
  • Check page load size (should be under 15MB)
  • Verify image dimensions are appropriate
  • Test scrolling performance across devices

For optimal image display, remember that parallax requires images larger than their display area to achieve the desired effect. The system automatically adds margins to support smooth scrolling implementation.
