Web Animation with CSS and JavaScript

The post-Flash era of web animation now consists of HTML5 web banners, CSS Animations and Transitions and JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and GASP (GreenSock) and others.

Where does Animation fit in web design today?

Animation reinforces hierarchy, relationships, structure, and cause and effect. Animation helps humans understand what’s happening on screen. It won’t make your site functional or more reliable, but it can contribute to making your site more interesting, usable and proficient in getting the goals of your site across to your visitors.

Animation can show, instead of tell. Subtle movements can offer feedback that lets visitors know when they’ve done something correctly and when they haven’t. It’s attention-getting, visual cue that leads users through a design and indicates where they can go next to learn more.
