How to create background images non-scrolling behind semi-transparent text boxes, navigation etc.

http://paolettis.p1xels.com/ - this is a custom theme that my developer cannot finish. I need to redo the site quickly and would love to approximate the look (big bg images), with text over background images using platform pro, but I have no idea how to adjust css. Is there a not-too-complicated way to assign different background images to either pages or categories (wine or menu) and have text in semi-transparent. Thank you!

I should say I looked through old threads, don't see anything quite applicable (for my limited skills anyway).

Which theme was used to create this site (PlatformPro or another theme)?

It was with PlatformPro. I'm a cat lady, too!
