Animation Glossary

Here you can find important tech terms and definitions, explained in a simple and clear way.

Web Animation

Web Animation is a broad term covering Transitions, Scroll Animation, Motion Design, and scripted Animation using JavaScript or libraries like Lottie Animation.

Transition

Transitions are simple forms of Animation that bridge the visual gap between two states, such as a subtle color change when a user triggers a Hover Effect or when a menu opens. They are defined entirely in CSS (Cascading Style Sheets).

Scroll Animation

Scroll Animation includes effects like elements fading in as they enter the Viewport, objects moving at different speeds (Parallax Scrolling), or entire Sections transitioning as the user scrolls.

Parallax Scrolling

Parallax Scrolling is a popular type of Scroll Animation used to add visual interest and sophistication to a website, often in the Hero Section or between key sections. It is a form of Motion Design that, when used subtly, can be highly engaging.

Motion Design

Motion Design is the purposeful application of Animation to enhance the narrative, structure, and aesthetics of a website. It is used for, transitions between pages or Sections, complex Lottie Animations to explain product features, guiding the user's eye to the primary CTA (Call to Action), and setting the visual pacing and rhythm of the User Flow.

Lottie Animation

Lottie Animations are high-quality, scalable vector animations that are vastly more lightweight and efficient than traditional GIFs or MP4 videos.
