Transition
What is 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).
Why Transitions Matter in UX and Performance?
Smooth transitions are essential for creating a modern, responsive, and high-quality User Interface (UI).
- UX Polish: They prevent abrupt changes, making the User Experience (UX) feel fluid and deliberate.
- Performance: They are a preferred method for creating simple motion because they are hardware-accelerated and highly efficient, maintaining a high Page Speed.
- Interaction Design: They provide immediate, satisfying feedback to the user's input.
Example from Flowtrix Projects
Flowtrix uses Transitions extensively in Webflow to polish all Interaction Design. We ensure that every Hover Effect and Button State changes smoothly over a short, defined duration. This attention to detail creates satisfying Microinteractions that enhance the User Experience (UX) without compromising Performance or causing visual Jitter.
