Parallax Scrolling
This is a web design technique in which the background and foreground elements of the design scroll at different speeds as you move up or down the page. This creates the illusion of depth, and can also help to highlight elements of a page that contain key information.

Benchmarks
In digital marketing, a benchmark is a specific metric that you compare results to. A benchmark can relate to impressions, clicks, open rate, sales, or many other metrics. An established threshold is then used to determine success or failure of a particular campaign or piece of content. Benchmarks for an email campaign, for example, might be 20% open rate, 2% click through rate, and 0.5% sales rate on a product that the email is highlighting.
The success or failure of the campaign would be measured against these numbers. Ideally, you’re developing benchmarks based on past campaign results in order to create personalized benchmarks for your business that allow you to compare across marketing channels.

Meta Description

Meta descriptions are read by search engines and often displayed for users. For example, the brief description for web pages you see in Google results is often pulled directly from the page’s meta description.
