Inspirational Parallax Sites

This week we are going to showcase sites that inspire us. I have decided to focus on a small collection of sites that use parallax to make them more visually engaging. The term derives from the Greek word parallaxis, meaning alteration. In web design, the parallax effect is a relatively new trend. The effect itself has been around for a while, but lately is becoming more used and talked about. These sites use a gentle 3D effect that makes them really fun to interact with. Enjoy!
