If you’re looking for a Genesis parallax theme other than Parallax Pro, I got you covered.
These parallax themes are all built in the Genesis Framework. I collected them from StudioPress, Hello You Designs, Creative Market, and other Genesis theme stores. All 7 Genesis themes are mobile responsive + HTML5 which I have also specified in each theme’s details.
Parallax gives your site a sense of depth using vertical design with background images (or videos). While some people criticize parallax websites for lacking SEO because they’re only a one-page website, you can actually have unlimited pages and posts, and they can include design and functionality other Genesis themes have. Just follow your theme’s setup instructions and use StudioPress’ Genesis installation instructions, plugins, and tutorials.

1. Altitude Pro
Altitude Pro is similar to Parallax Pro only it features a single page (homepage) where the individual sections are larger than those in Parallax Pro. The navigation items don’t HAVE to have the scrolling effect – each item can lead to a new page (see links in footer). Altitude Pro is a clean, simple theme that can quickly be customized into an awesome Genesis website.

Parallax Pro was developed by StudioPress and is likely the most popular Genesis parallax theme on the market. Here are Youtube instructions for setting it up, but it comes with 5 color options (blue, green, orange, pink, red), 3 layout options (though you can add more using plugin like Genesis Design Palette), and the theme is overall very customizable.

Can’t Decide On A Genesis Theme?
While these are the only Genesis parallax themes out there, there are plenty of other Genesis themes to choose from. That links to a post I wrote that organizes tons of Genesis themes into industries and theme type. It’s worth having a look so you know your options.
If you found my list helpful, please share. I would appreciate that. And if you know of any other Genesis themes with parallax scrolling capability, drop me a line!
Cheers,
hi
Hello Trending is my best theme..
Great to see more support for WooCommerce is being added to Genesis as that has always been a pet peeve of mine and like to avoid having lots of WooCommerce add-ons patching and fixing compatibility issues.
Ya tons of new themes are coming out for Genesis WooCommerce. I do have a list for those :)

Hi Tom, nice web.
What do you think about parallax pro theme for seo? It could be bad?
Thanks
Thanks Dax. Parallax Pro is one of the best themes out there from my knowledge and I trust the technical side of SEO has been taken care of by StudioPress’ team. As long as you create separate designated pages for your keywords and do the things you should do with any theme, you should be good.
