I like these more for their aesthetic properties than for any technical or sales-focussed reason. I really have no idea how well any of these would convert. ht

Best use of parallax scrolling I have ever see on firewatchgame.com.

  Really? This is what I'm getting: http://somevid.com/p9A0o8k6aoTGXJmGzPlW http://somevid.com/p9A0o8k6aoTGXJmGzPlW OsX Chrome 42

    The scrolling is much smoother (and proper) for me. Win 8.1, Firefox.

    I tried on my macbook + Safari and Chrome; both render perfectly smooth.

    Also Chrome on OSX, scrolling is perfect. Out of interest, because whenever these parallax sites come up a chunk of people have significant problems, what spec is your Mac? The Mac Pro landing page is another example, a lot of people think it's amazing, but I've seen videos of that where it just doesn't work for some people - something weird is going on here as it's clear the designers + front end people aren't seeing such problems with parallax, so why are others, and is it rare or more common than expected?

Came here to post Kaleidoscope. It's been years since I last saw that page, and as soon as I saw the question, it was the first answer that came to mind.

  I like how it actually shows you what it does!

justlanded is so simple and beautiful, couldn't be more straight forward. I love it!

GetJustLanded.com is nice and clean, the mobile perspective is very simple and straightforward but the desktop view feels rich enough. I do wonder if the transition to the iTunes store hurts even though iTunes has strong brand recognition. The other two don't support mobile (at least in FF or Chrome; firewatch is bugged) which is an unfortunate oversight by now.

Just Landed is a Unix program to a T: it does one thing and does one thing well. Absolutely gorgeous landing page and app.

Thank you for introducing me to Firewatch - might be the first game I play in ages.

Developer of @justlanded here :) Thanks for appreciating our landing page – @partlysean did a great job on it. We also recently released Patchmania which has a neat landing page you might like: http://getpatchmania.com http://getpatchmania.com Honestly, because we're an app company rather than an e-commerce or SaaS company, a lot of the effort we put into these pages is largely for the benefit of the press (who often research apps on desktop). The vast majority of end users discover our apps through the App Stores themselves, so we put even more effort into our icon, screenshots, app preview, description, keywords etc. As for conversion rates, sadly Apple hasn't opened up any analytics to developers for their actual App Store product pages (even though they announced they would a year ago at WWDC), so what users are doing when browsing the actual stores is largely a black box - we have no idea how many people view our app store previews or screenshots etc. or even where they came from (many deep-linking schemes we've looked at are pretty brittle or don't work at all). Conversion rates on the website landing pages are pretty good - there's not much else to do on those pages than download the app, and chances are you came there with that goal.

  Are you allowed to share website conversion rates? Just wondering...

  I didn't realize this is an active project that happens recently until you reply. It looks nice but in a 2 year ago way. You demo is in iOS6, that is so ancient. I would immediately get turned away by it

    It's true that Just Landed hasn't been updated for a while. That will change later this year. We've been working on Patchmania (http://getpatchmania.com http://getpatchmania.com) for 2 years, which launched recently. Honestly, if you're reacting to the video showing iOS 6 I think you're probably focusing on the wrong thing.

+1 for http://www.kaleidoscopeapp.com http://www.kaleidoscopeapp.com and their other similar designed pages/apps. Beautiful, artistic and original vs. the same old same bootstrap seen that 100 times type of design that is flooding this thread & the web.
