Customization Help

Hi,

I just purchased a new license for a new site and I need help with the following customizations on the homepage:

Here is what I need the final homepage to look like

Here is what I currently have:
http://1c5.964.myftpupload.com/

As you can see I made some progress but needs the following help

1- On the very top header area. I am using a transparent header on the homepage which is great but I do not want to use the transparent header anywhere else on the site. Eg. http://1c5.964.myftpupload.com/pages/about-us/ I would simply like the header for the other pages be a solid color.

2- How do I control/change the sticky header background color and font color?

3- I cannot get the slider to look like my mockup. I need the text (Welcome to BCCP Online!….) to move up more and when I scroll the page those text also gets lost. More importantly on mobile, the slider is extremely tall and does not show the middle of the photo which is the most important part to show . It is just showing the left portion. How did this site achieve it? http://renov8.org/. Am I using the wrong slider? Should I use a different slider?

4- I would like to change <h1><H2> to Open Sans Extra Bold. I have already added
@import url(http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:300,600,800); and set my font weight to 800 but it is now showing up on the front end (see text “BROOKLYN COLLEGE COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP”) below the slider.

5- On my mockup “FROM THE BLOG” section, I would like to pull the latest blog entry with the thumbnail image on the left and headline/summary copy on the right. Can you please help me achieve that layout?

6- Below the blog section, I am trying to add a parallax image. (where the text currently says “iSERVE TRIP 2016: CHICAGO…”) I really like how this site did that parallax image towards the middle – http://renov8.org/ where it says “COME FIND COMMUNITY…” . Why cant I achieve the same effect?

Thank you so much. Look forward to hearing from you.
