Inspiration, Inspiration

This website is a digital design agencies, i wanted to take a look at it for a couple of reasons, one of them being the 'fixed header content scroll'. Its really nice effect that isn't too complicated to achieve (i hope). It instantly gives it a professional vibe and will be ideal for my large image, simple navigation design choice.

 In this screenshot you can see the scroll coming up above the header
To explain further, instead of the standard when you scroll, the page moves down, it gives the effect that when you scroll the content comes up and the background stays static. 

I wanted to look into the code involved and so far I've discovered that its about having both the header and the content on a z-index, the content higher than the header, you then fixed position the header and it should work! Obviously it's slightly more complicated but this is definitely the style I want to go for.

When looking at the title font this is also another great aspect of the website. 

The title is Future PT in Bold, and uppercase; this makes for a great title. It's stands out its easy to read and it looks modern and it doesn't have any irritating characters, often or not a type designers like to include an 'R' or a 'P' with a funny 'curveyness' which doesn't match the rest of the type.

I think the main thing that I have taken from checking this website out is the scrolling feature and the typography, Its so clean and professional and I can see my putting my content into a similar style of website with the transparent background thats slightly blurred.
