The parallax scrolling effects were a hit in 2016 and the trend is most definitely going to continue in 2017. With more impressive effects, the website design is going to see a lot of scroll and pan in the future. The more realistic it looks on screen, the more users would want to view it.

The website interface in 2017 will see an element of connectivity and feature of tactility with the usage of images and other elements that feel like the user can actually reach out and touch them. The images used will be more natural giving the effect of being made from materials found in nature.
