Animations that help (and the ones that hurt conversions)
Siddhant AryanLead Designer · AI AutomationAnimation is a tool, not decoration. Used with intent it directs attention and adds polish; used for its own sake it slows the page and annoys the visitor.
Motion that guides
Subtle reveals that bring the eye to the next thing, and micro-interactions that confirm an action, help people move through a page. The best motion you barely notice.
Motion that blocks
Long intro animations, scroll-jacking, and effects that delay content put a wall between the visitor and what they came for. If motion makes someone wait, it's costing you.
Respect performance and preferences
Animation shouldn't tank load time or ignore reduced-motion settings. We keep it light and accessible so it adds to the experience instead of taxing it.
Key takeaways
- Use motion to guide attention and confirm actions.
- Never make visitors wait on animation.
- Keep it light and respect reduced-motion.
