5 points to be considered in adding animation in your website

          Most of the websites developed nowadays are possessed with some hint of movement (i.e) Animations and CSS Transitions. It is sure that this will rule over the web development world in the coming years because Motion User Interface(Motion UI) is one of the web development trends in this 2016.

          Remember that Motion UI adds value to your website by offering a visual delight and transitioning the visitors between contents in the web page.

         The core objective of this post is to give some important points for website developers while adding animation and transition effects in websites.

1.  Offer movements as expected

             It is important to add movements of the digital objects representing reality with digital interfaces. The user would enjoy the experience if the movements mirror the reality of their physical counterparts in a web page.

         In some websites, we may see the digital motion of our cursor movements represented by images. This will inherit the user experience for visitors.

            For example, in Save Sparrows website, a sparrow moves as per you move the cursor with your hand representing the reality with digital interfaces in the webpage.

Remember that while adding transitions and animation, the better user experience relies on the reality and digital interfaces work in a similar manner.

2. Make convenient for all devices

          You can use full screen animation or small transition effects for your websites. Whatever the element may be, the main objective is to provide great user experience and impression for the users . But you should be clear and determinant whether the transition effects will directly convey the movement in devices of all layouts.

           If the animation does not convey effect in any device, it will result in offering poor user experience for visitors what they do not like.

3. Maintain consistent speed

         The transition effects in a website will result in negative impact among the visitors if they are too time consuming. Hence you should manage the speed of animation and movement effects in a website.

            Quick paced transition animation may distract the audience as such movements will make them chaotic while slow movement effects will tire the visitor. Hence it is wise and necessary to maintain consistent speed for animation and movement effects in a website.

4.  Convey a message

       Simply we can classify the animation effects into two types, adding it for aesthetics and for purposeful effects.

         If you intend to add animation effects for the second purpose, then you should convey a message within the movements. It is very difficult to tell your company history or services through animation and movements in a web page. If you attempt for that actions, it will result in negative effects stated in the above step.

          The best way to make your animation purposeful is to convey an instant message or general theme of your website via the animation effects.

         For example, in the website of popular cool drink manufacturing company Bovonto, they describe the theme of their Business within a short span with the animation.

5. Add in limited manner

       Remember that the animation and movement effects should interact with the website in a natural manner. It should not distract the user who are viewing your web page.

         The best way to do this is to add the animation, movement and transition effects in a limited manner.
