Beginner

🎞️ CSS Transitions & Animations

CSS supports dynamic effects that enhance user experience through smooth visuals and interactive feedback.

🔄 Transitions

Transitions allow property values to change smoothly over time:

button {
  background-color: blue;
  transition: background-color 0.3s ease;
}

button:hover {
  background-color: green;
}

✅ Ideal for hover effects, focus states, and interactions

🎬 Keyframe Animations

Define complex sequences of changes over time:

@keyframes fadeIn {
  from { opacity: 0; }
  to { opacity: 1; }
}

.element {
  animation: fadeIn 1s ease-in;
}

✅ Useful for loading indicators, entrance effects, and attention-grabbing visuals

🎯 Why Use CSS Animations?

  • 🧠 Improve user engagement
  • 📈 Provide visual feedback
  • 💅 Create a polished, intuitive interface

CSS transitions and animations help build modern, interactive, and visually appealing websites without relying on JavaScript.
