Direct animations and motion are a big part of the user experience. Not every website will include dynamic animations, but these tend to draw in a crowd of interested users. Stunning visuals can also cross a line and turn into annoying distractions from your content. Building purposeful websites is all about finding a balance between the dynamic elements and static elements in your layout, and how these ultimately affect the user experience.
For this article I’d like to delve into some of the more common trends related to animations in web design. I want to share some ideas for what presents clever, intuitive design skills vs annoyances to the average user. Perspective is everything and you have to cater each project for the largest demographic.
Building animation also doesn’t require lots of complex codes or backend scripts. Many open source JavaScript and even CSS libraries exist for this very reason. As the developer it is up to you to forage around the Internet and see what you can find. I will present a few live examples and strategies you may follow to achieve extraordinary results.
