What your Parallax plugin does

A focused Elementor feature that adds a parallax effect to a section background. You control speed, direction and the devices it runs on.

Parallax backgrounds
The section background moves slower or faster than the page as it scrolls.
Speed and direction
Choose how strong the effect is and which way the image moves.
Devices
Turn the effect off on tablet or mobile to keep scrolling smooth.
One settings page
Its own item in your WordPress admin menu, so options are easy to find and change.
Good to know: The effect applies to section backgrounds. Many separate moving layers inside one section are a bigger build.

Example request
On my travel blog homepage I have a full width hero with a mountain photo. Make the photo scroll slower than the text for a depth effect, medium speed, and switch it off on phones so it doesn't judder.

Here is the plan:
  • Parallax option on the hero section background

In this build: Multi-layer scenes and effects driven by the mouse position are not part of this plan.
Want more? Add it to your request:
  • Layered images. Add a second image layer that moves at a different speed.

Add these to my request and get a quote
Ora builds it together with the plugin and the quote goes up to match. You see the new price before you pay. One plugin never costs more than $39. If it needs more than one plugin, Ora quotes each one. Or add it later as a separate build.

How to set up Parallax

Subtle movement looks best, and you can turn it off on phones.

Questions

Is there a free Elementor parallax plugin?

Free ones may exist. Build your own when you want exact behavior and nothing extra.

Does parallax slow my site down?

It can on older phones, so there is a setting to turn it off on tablets and mobiles. Ora keeps the code light.

Do I need Elementor?

Yes. This plugin is built for Elementor and shows up in your editor, so Elementor must be active on your site. You don't need to buy Essential Addons for Elementor Pro.

Can I get a refund?

The trial fee is refunded automatically if a build fails. A purchased plugin can be refunded within 14 days if it doesn't do what the approved plan said and Ora can't fix it, as long as it hasn't been downloaded or installed.
