The parallax effect can be used on landing pages, long-form content, sales pages, or the homepage of a business website. It is a great way to highlight different sections on a lengthy page. You can easily create a parallax section with this plugin. = Features = * Easy to use * It does not require much technical knowledge to use * It is lightweight because it relies on JavaScript * Smooth motion — every effect glides toward the scroll position instead of jumping (on by default). * Parallax Layers (Free) — put any blocks inside and each one moves at its own depth as you scroll, with per-layer speed, direction and fade. * Parallax Tilt Card (Pro) — cards that tilt toward the pointer and drift on scroll, with image parallax and a glare sheen, in four styles. * Parallax Testimonials (Pro) — a 3D coverflow, stacked, spotlight or minimal testimonial carousel with autoplay and swipe. * Parallax CTA (Pro) — a conversion band with a magnetic button, animated aurora and converging orbs, in four styles. * Parallax Cube (Pro) — a 3D cube or prism that turns to reveal each content face, with tabs, drag and autoplay. * Parallax Skills Cloud (Pro) — skill bubbles that drift on a spring field and scatter from the cursor, in five styles. * Horizontal Scroll Parallax (Pro) — the section pins while you scroll down and its cards slide sideways, with Showcase, Timeline, Gallery and Story styles, drag, keyboard and navigation. **[Demos](https://bblockswp.com/demo/parallax-section/)** = How to use = - First, install the Parallax Section plugin - Add the Parallax Section block from the block category called "Widgets" in the Gutenberg editor. - You can change block settings from the right-side settings sidebar. - Enjoy! * For installation help click on Installation Tab = Feedback = - Did you like this plugin?
