12. Parallax Scrolling :

Another shift that we are likely to seen in 2017 is the number of brands that will use parallax scrolling on their websites. Parallax is a scrolling mechanic which gives the illusion of 3D to users. Again this is more useful for brands who want to make their website as unique and dynamic as possible while serving its purpose to users.
