Types of Web Animations Flashcards
What are some common types of web animations that enhance user interaction?
Common web animations include:
• Interface element animation (e.g., button hover states, slide-in menus).
•Loading animations (e.g., spinning loaders or animated logos).
•Navigation animations (e.g., hidden menus like hamburger menus).
•Gallery and slideshow animations (e.g., sliding photo galleries).
What purpose does a ‘waiting’ or ‘loading’ animation serve on a website?
A loading animation indicates to users that a process is happening in the background and that they need to wait. It reassures the user that the system is functioning and helps manage expectations.
How does a hamburger menu function?
A hamburger menu is a navigation menu icon made up of three horizontal lines. When clicked, it reveals a hidden menu that helps save screen space while providing easy access to navigation options.
