How to make a horizontal parallax website?

What are the best Parallax Scrolling Themes for WP?

  • First of all, I am looking for a theme that is easily editable, basically a wordpress contractor could set it up to my specifications and other than any backend/coding work that needs to be done I'd like to be able to manage the site myseIf.  That really just means I want to change the content of the template sections whenever I want and adding a blog post should be very easy (i.e. I the wordpress for IPhone app to create posts on the go) and to ensure that all new posts are posting to my blog section. I am looking for a simply, crisp parallax scrolling theme for my site.  I need the theme to be very customizable as far as colors/typeface goes but super user friendly for layout and design purposes, almost beginner level as I do not have coding experience.  While I finally found multiple options but now I'm curious about the functionality of such themes.  Some seem slow and sluggish while others scroll very fast/slow/choppy but definitely not in the best way for the user.  I realize the speed/performance issue could be from a number of issues but is there a most likely cause?  I have a great internet connection and I was using the live demo themes while exploring. Also, I am looking for something that has a good way to integrate the blog section of my website into the parallax one page theme.  See some examples below: 1. The Road - This is my top choice right now. They do a great job with the blog section and I really want to make sure that is easy to follow on my site. http://showcase.sakurapixel.com/theroad_wp/site/#! 2. CuckooTap - I like this because it is very simple and "clean" looking.  The only problems I see is that it seems to scroll very fast and I'd want to make sure I can customize the textures of backgrounds. http://themeforest.net/item/cuckootap-responsive-single-page-wordpress-theme/full_screen_preview/3512405 Thanks so much!  Sorry if this is long winded, this is my first question here.

I would recommend to take a look at : https://themeisle.com/themes/zerif-pro-one-page-wordpress-theme/, you can easily edit it within the WordPress customizer and the code behind is clean and simple, no frameworks or complex stuff. PS : I am the owner of ThemeIsle who developed this theme

Why not use some plugins to achieve smooth scroll effect, like this : https://wordpress.org/plugins/easy-smooth-scroll-links/ It's FREE to use.
