Question

I wanted to know if anyone could provide more insight into the design style of the following website:

I'd like how certain elements remain fixed, while others are responsive, and appear behind layers etc.

Basically I would like to learn more about this style of layout, what it's called, and I wanted to know if anyone could provide me with some links to online resources that go a little further into similar designs.

Any information would be very very appreciated.

Thank you!
