A Guide to Parallax and Scroll-Based Animations

Parallax animation can transform static web pages into immersive, interactive experiences. While traditional parallax relies on simple background image movement and tons of JavaScript code, scroll-based CSS animation opens up a world of creative possibilities with no JavaScript at all. In this guide, we’ll explore two distinct approaches: SVG block animation : Creating movement using SVG graphics for unique, customizable effects. Multi-image parallax background : Stacking and animating multiple image layers for a classic parallax illusion. We'll walk through each technique step by step, compare their strengths and limitations, and offer practical tips for responsive design.
