Advanced CSS Animations

Take your site to the next level with advanced component and scroll animations. For each component, you can setup a default animation. The animations run when the page loads or as the user scrolls down the page. Animations provide an excellent mechanism to draw attention to the most important content on your website.

To setup animations, edit any page. There are two ways to configure animations.

  1. Edit component and click the drop down menu in the title bar of the component editor.

  2. Click the small green box in the right side of the component edit bar. Then click the animations button. To set/preview the animation, select an animation style from the drop down menu.

You can choose from many different styles: slide, fade, zoom, wobble, and many many more. Make sure you use animations wisely. Too many animations on the page can be very distracting.

You can also enable animations for your photo galleries. As a visitor scrolls down the page, gallery images will appear with the animated effect.

NOTE: Most animation styles are supported in the latest versions of Internet Explorer, FireFox and Google Chrome.
