Flash-based sites have you visited where every little move you
made played an animation before you could get where you
wanted to go? And how many sites have you been to where you
find yourself waiting longer than you feel you should for those
animations to finish? How about sites where you spend more
time watching things animate than you spend actually reading
the content? Your visitors have most likely experienced the same
thing at other sites as well. That
s important to use
animations and transitions quickly and only where they help add
to the experience of the site.
A final list of all the major animations should be decided on
prior to animating and programming the site. Any new animations
that are thought of after the site is in full swing of production
could possibly set the timeline back depending on the complexity
of the new movements. While changes to the site are definitely
goingtobeinevitableinsomecases,tryyourhardesttoavoid
adding new animations or even changing the existing ones too
drastically. Depending on exactly how the site in question is built,
retrofitting it for a new animation may even mean having to
scrap and rebuild parts that could have taken hours to complete
the first time.
