How to Create One Page Website with Parallax Effect using Bootstrap

Live Demo

Step 1. HTML

For a start – prepare a skeleton markup:

index.html

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html lang="en" >

<head>

<meta charset="utf-8" />

<meta name="author" content="Script Tutorials" />

<title>Bootstrap one-page template with Parallax effect | Script Tutorials</title>

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no">

<link href="css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">

<link href="css/style.css" rel="stylesheet" />

</head>

<body>

<!-- attach JavaScripts -->
<script src="js/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script>

<script src="js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>

<script src="//maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=true"></script>

<script src="js/main.js"></script>

</body>

</html>

This is the minimal markup which allows us to use the responsive nature of the Bootstrap. Now we can begin with adding new elements to the page.

Top navigation menu

This is the fixed navigation bar. Here is the markup:

<!-- navigation panel -->

<nav class="navbar navbar-default navbar-fixed-top" role="navigation">

<div class="container-fluid">

<!-- Brand and toggle get grouped for better mobile display -->

<div class="navbar-header">

<button type="button" class="navbar-toggle" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#navbar-collapse-main">

<span class="sr-only">Toggle navigation</span>

<span class="icon-bar"></span>

<span class="icon-bar"></span>

<span class="icon-bar"></span>

</button>

<a class="navbar-brand" href="#">Your Brand Name</a>

</div>
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="navbar-collapse-main">
<ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right">

<li><a href="#home">Home</a></li>

<li><a href="#about">About</a></li>

<li><a href="#services">Services</a></li>

<li><a href="#information">Information</a></li>

<li><a href="#google_map">Contact</a></li>

<li><a href="http://www.script-tutorials.com/bootstrap-one-page-template-with-parallax-effect/">Back to tutorial</a></li>

</ul>

</div><!-- /.navbar-collapse -->

</div><!-- /.container-fluid -->

</nav>

Basically, this is UL-LI-based menu (as usual). There are links to different sections of the page

Section 1 – Home

The first section is full-sized greeting page:

<!-- first section - Home -->

<div id="home" class="home">

<div class="text-vcenter">

<h1>Hello World</h1>

<h3>This is bootstrap-based layout</h3>

<a href="#about" class="btn btn-default btn-lg">Continue</a>

</div>

</div>

<!-- /first section -->

The greeting text is aligned vertically by center.

Section 2 – About

There are two columns, the image is in the first columnm and centered text is in the right column:

<!-- second section - About -->

<div id="about" class="pad-section">

<div class="container">

<div class="row">

<div class="col-sm-6">

<img src="images/logo.png" alt="" />

</div>

<div class="col-sm-6 text-center">

<h2>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Donec in sem cras amet.</h2>

<p class="lead">Lorem
 ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed interdum metus 
et ligula venenatis, at rhoncus nisi molestie. Pellentesque porttitor 
elit suscipit massa laoreet metus.</p>

</div>

</div>

</div>

</div>

<!-- /second section -->

Section 3 – Services

This blue section consists of four elements with glyph icons provided by the bootstrap:

<!-- third section - Services -->

<div id="services" class="pad-section">

<div class="container">

<h2 class="text-center">Our Services</h2> <hr />

<div class="row text-center">

<div class="col-sm-3 col-xs-6">

<i class="glyphicon glyphicon-cloud"> </i>

<h3>Service 1</h3>

<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Donec in sem cras amet. Donec in sem cras amet.</p>

</div>

<div class="col-sm-3 col-xs-6">

<i class="glyphicon glyphicon-leaf"> </i>

<h3>Service 2</h3>

<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Donec in sem cras amet. Donec in sem cras amet.</p>

</div>

<div class="col-sm-3 col-xs-6">

<i class="glyphicon glyphicon-phone-alt"> </i>

<h3>Service 3</h3>

<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Donec in sem cras amet. Donec in sem cras amet.</p>

</div>

<div class="col-sm-3 col-xs-6">

<i class="glyphicon glyphicon-bullhorn"> </i>

<h3>Service 4</h3>

<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Donec in sem cras amet. Donec in sem cras amet.</p>

</div>

</div>

</div>

</div>

<!-- /third section -->

Section 4 – Information

This is the second wide section with full-size background, plus, there are two additional blocks (panels):

<!-- fourth section - Information -->

<div id="information" class="pad-section">

<div class="container">

<div class="row">

<div class="col-sm-6">

<div class="panel panel-default">

<div class="panel-heading">

<h2 class="panel-title">Additional information</h2>

</div>

<div class="panel-body lead">

Lorem
 ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed hendrerit 
adipiscing blandit. Aliquam placerat, velit a fermentum fermentum, mi 
felis vehicula justo, a dapibus quam augue non massa. Duis euismod, 
augue et tempus consequat, lorem mauris porttitor quam, consequat 
ultricies mauris mi a metus. Phasellus congue, leo sed ultricies 
tristique, nunc libero tempor ligula, at varius mi nibh in nisi. Aliquam
 erat volutpat. Maecenas rhoncus, neque facilisis rhoncus tempus, elit 
ligula varius dui, quis amet. 

</div>

</div>

</div>

<div class="col-sm-6">

<div class="panel panel-default">

<div class="panel-heading">

<h2 class="panel-title">Additional information</h2>

</div>

<div class="panel-body lead">

Lorem
 ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed hendrerit 
adipiscing blandit. Aliquam placerat, velit a fermentum fermentum, mi 
felis vehicula justo, a dapibus quam augue non massa. Duis euismod, 
augue et tempus consequat, lorem mauris porttitor quam, consequat 
ultricies mauris mi a metus. Phasellus congue, leo sed ultricies 
tristique, nunc libero tempor ligula, at varius mi nibh in nisi. Aliquam
 erat volutpat. Maecenas rhoncus, neque facilisis rhoncus tempus, elit 
ligula varius dui, quis amet. 

</div>

</div>

</div>

</div>

</div>

</div>

<!-- /fourth section -->

Section 5 – Contacts and Footer

In fact, there are three elements – the narrow blue service line (to put some extra information), the google map, where you can put your company address (as a pin on the map):

<!-- fifth section -->

<div id="services" class="pad-section">

<div class="container">

<div class="row">

<div class="col-sm-12 text-center">

<h3>Parallax scrolling effect is in action</h3>

<h3>The next is the address on Google maps</h3>

</div>

</div>

</div>

</div>

<!-- /fifth section -->
<!-- google map -->
<div id="google_map"></div>

<!-- /google map -->
<!-- footer -->
<footer>

<hr />

<div class="container">

<p class="text-right">Copyright © Your Company 2014</p>

</div>

</footer>

<!-- /footer -->

Step 2. CSS

You may have noticed that most elements already received all necessary styles at once. However, we still have to define styles for all new non-standard elements:

css/style.css

/* general styles */

html, body {

height: 100%;

width: 100%;

}
/* padded section */
.pad-section {

padding: 50px 0;

}

.pad-section img {

width: 100%;

}
/* vertical-centered text */
.text-vcenter {

display: table-cell;

text-align: center;

vertical-align: middle;

}

.text-vcenter h1 {

font-size: 4.5em;

font-weight: 700;

margin: 0;

padding: 0;

}
/* additional sections */
#home {

background: url(../images/home.jpg) no-repeat center center fixed; 

display: table;

height: 100%;

position: relative;

width: 100%;

-webkit-background-size: cover;

-moz-background-size: cover;

-o-background-size: cover;

background-size: cover;

}
#about {
}
#services {
background-color: #306d9f;

color: #ffffff;

}

#services .glyphicon {

border: 2px solid #FFFFFF;

border-radius: 50%;

display: inline-block;

font-size: 60px;

height: 140px;

line-height: 140px;

text-align: center;

vertical-align: middle;

width: 140px;

}
#information {
background: url(../images/estate.jpg) no-repeat center center fixed; 

display: table;

height: 800px;

position: relative;

width: 100%;

-webkit-background-size: cover;

-moz-background-size: cover;

-o-background-size: cover;

background-size: cover;

}

#information .panel {

opacity: 0.85;

}
#google_map {
height: 500px;

}
footer {
padding: 20px 0;

}

footer .glyphicon {

color: #333333;

font-size: 60px;

}

footer .glyphicon:hover {

color: #306d9f;

}

Step 3. JavaScript

In the end, there is the google map, in order to initialize it (with a predefined address) we have to add the following code:

js/main.js

$(document).ready(function (){
// create a LatLng object containing the coordinate for the center of the map
var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(-33.86455, 151.209);
// prepare the map properties
var options = {

zoom: 15,

center: latlng,

mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP,

navigationControl: true,

mapTypeControl: false,

scrollwheel: false,

disableDoubleClickZoom: true

};
// initialize the map object
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('google_map'), options);
// add Marker
var marker1 = new google.maps.Marker({

position: latlng, map: map

});
// add listener for a click on the pin
google.maps.event.addListener(marker1, 'click', function() {

infowindow.open(map, marker1);

});
// add information window
var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow({

content: '<div class="info"><strong>This is my company</strong>


My company address is here

32846 Sydney</div>'

}); 

});
