As one of the trends in web design in 2018, web page design has become an important part of the modern web user experience. Whether it’s subtle transition effects or covering the entire page, animation effects are everywhere. The interactive details of the dynamic effects make the modern web page fundamentally different from previous designs.
For designers, the maturity of CSS and HTML has made designers more and more creative. CSS animations make their websites more personal, can explain complex ideas quickly and easily, and guide users’ actions. For the user, the animation effect makes the logical changes of the elements in the webpage clearer, and the personalized visual effect brings the user’s pleasure feeling to the user to retain and increase the conversion.
What is CSS animation?
With CSS3, we were able to create animations without the need for a processor and JavaScript or Flash that requires a lot of memory. There is no limit to the number or frequency of CSS properties that can be changed. Start a CSS animation by specifying a keyframe for the animation.
Today, the hacker team has compiled some very good examples of web design with animation effects in foreign countries. These sites use animation to showcase products and services, showcase brand styles, create emotions, and even guide users through story browsing.

Designer: Byan James
Mobility features:
- Transitional effect
- Micro-motion
This is a CSS-based interactive motion web design that uses only triangle segments to showcase 30 of the world’s most interesting but unfortunately endangered species – they survive the text in fragmented form. All triangular fragments are transformed into different colors in each transition animation to form different species. Each animal is equipped with a statistical chart that visualizes their evolutionary history and the number of species that have been declining year after year. Designers use JavaScript and CSS to link all transitional movements to SVG shapes to create a website that promotes species conservation, hoping to make their own efforts for the survival of these species and to cause human thinking.
