Web Animation using JavaScript; Develop & Design 1st Edition

Mastering Web Animation: Elevate Your User Experience with Motion Design

Gone are the days of clunky scrolling tickers and distracting banner ads. Today’s best digital experiences—on iOS, Android, and the web—seamlessly integrate motion design to enhance usability rather than detract from it. In fact, websites and apps that lack animation are beginning to feel outdated.

This book provides a solid technical foundation for implementing animations that are both visually compelling and easy to maintain. You'll learn how to:

• Design engaging loading sequences that keep users invested
• Use physics-based motion to create natural, intuitive interactions
• Leverage CSS transforms to add depth and realism to animations
• Harness the power of JavaScript animation libraries like Velocity.js for streamlined programming
• Optimize animation performance for smooth, responsive interfaces

From fundamental theory to advanced techniques, this guide covers everything you need to become a skilled web animator—whether you're just starting out or looking to refine your expertise.

Why invest in motion design? The same reason designers carefully curate fonts and colors—polished, intentional animations create a superior user experience. They don’t just look good; they feel good, leaving users delighted and eager to share.
