How to Know if Animation is Right for Your Site!

Using Animation on your website is a great way to get your site to pop! It is extremely important for you to consult with a design professional to ensure that animation is appropriate for your site, and that it is done in a way that adds to your site! Boubacar in Technical Support and Customer Service at HIT Web Design shares a few tips on how to do this!


Tip 1: Is animation appropriate for your site? This is your first step! Make sure that it fits your site, look and industry!

Tip 2: Keep your animation simple! This is key as animation that is too complex can be slow to load and take the momentum away from the rest of your site!

Tip 3: Restrict your animation to only one location on your site! Remember you want the eye to flow down your page, and to your call to action. Animation in more than one location can be distracting and can ruin the effectiveness of your site!
