Animating with CSS
Bring your UI to life with CSS animations
Modern web sites and apps are full of impressive effects, subtle micro-interactions and smooth transitions. Motion adds wow factor, can improve user experience and add a slick professional feeling to even the simplest static site. To have your projects stand out, animation is a key component.Animation is like a conversation that occurs between the User and our User Interface; the user performs actions and the UI communicates back. For example, we can animate elements off the screen when removing them, and animate them in when new elements are added. This simple transaction helps us understand where they went. It adds to our mental model of what we’re working with, and makes the interaction richer and more meaningful.
We can use animation to draw attention to certain elements of an interface or to tell stories and lead users on a journey from one step to the next.
CSS animations are a powerful design too for bringing the page to life. However, when considering animations as part of a project there are two challenges:
- The creative challenge of what your animations should look like
- The technical challenge of bringing your vision to life.
Animations are a key component of modern web design so there’s never been a better time to master all the details. Let’s get started!
