Of course, it's his content after all

Hello everyone! It is a well known notion that the animation isn’t a priority in web design. Is it so? I would venture to argue. Gurus advise us to postpone the animation to the final stages of website creation, and firstly attend to it’s design. HOWEVER Today, more and more websites come with animation. It helps to hold the user's attention and allows them to better perceive the content. Recently, the emphasis has shifted towards interactivity. Users like to interact with virtual space: they become not only spectators, but direct participants in what is happening. In addition, website surfers are very impatient. There is a well-known “8 seconds rule” - you only have 8 seconds to grab the attention of the user. That is how much time a person can concentrate on one thing. You have a very small window of opportunity for interacting with the users when they visit the website. So don’t waste those seconds! More and more websites are moving away from using static images to a new way to attract visitors. Micro-animations are a great way to retain users and intrigue them. For example, micro-animation of icons, menus, background images and individual elements. Over the past years, animation of the website has been used extremely rarely. It used to slow down the download speed, and had caused the site to freeze. Thanks to modern technologies, we can now create animations in various ways that do not affect the speed of our websites that much. When a user can interact with the content, he or she is more involved in it. Animations on the main screen - are a cherry on the cake. The user will appreciate that each element responds to his or her actions. If visitors are about to lose interest, the animated pop-ups will attract their attention again. Did I manage to convince you that animation is still the main task in web design? Let's discuss!
