This is a pretty awesome looking website. I like the use of the scrolling page effect here, with the static nav bar at the top it’s really successful. I say that because, for example, when you click the “contact” link it loads a different page, no sliding effect and the design still works visually, and looks great.

does anyone know how to make that static background ign has
