Frequently Asked Questions about design-animate

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I add purposeful UI animation to improve perceived responsiveness?▼

Purposeful UI animation clarifies user actions and feedback by guiding attention. You can plan entrance animations and micro-interactions for buttons, forms, and modals to enhance usability and make interfaces feel faster.

What is prefers-reduced-motion and how do I apply it to micro-interactions?▼

Prefers-reduced-motion is an accessibility consideration for users sensitive to movement. You apply it by ensuring animations and micro-interactions respect this setting, disabling or minimizing motion to maintain accessibility across interactive components.

How do I plan entrance animations and feedback cues for interactive components?▼

Plan entrance animations and feedback cues by auditing a feature for motion opportunities. Apply animations to buttons, forms, and page transitions to clarify actions and outcomes while respecting performance budgets and accessibility guidelines.

Can I use micro-interactions on web and mobile interfaces without hurting performance?▼

Yes, you can apply micro-interactions to web and mobile interfaces without hurting performance by establishing clear performance budgets. Purposeful motion enhances usability while adhering to these constraints to maintain optimal application speed.

When should I not use UI motion in my application design?▼

You should avoid UI motion when it fails to clarify actions or outcomes, or when it violates prefers-reduced-motion accessibility guidelines. Motion without purpose adds visual noise and can degrade performance budgets instead of delighting users.
