Micro-interactions improve UX by adding purposeful animations to buttons, modals, and navigation that provide immediate user feedback and clarity. You can implement these entrance and state transition animations using performance-friendly properties like transform and opacity.

Planning frontend animations involves identifying missing feedback and prioritizing a cohesive experience across a single hero moment, feedback layers, transition layers, and delight moments. This structured approach turns static features into expressive interfaces that guide attention effectively.
