Adding Animation to Your Squarespace Site
There are a few different ways that you can add animation to your Squarespace site. One way is to use the built-in animations that Squarespace offers.
To do this, go to the Design tab and click on the Animations section. Here, you can choose from a variety of animations to add to your site.
Another way to add animation to your site is by using HTML. This is a more advanced method, but it allows you more control over the animation. To do this, you will need to add the following code to your site:
<!-- Start Animation Code --> <div id="animatedElement"> <p>Animated Element </p> </div> <!-- End Animation Code --> </p>
In the code above, you will need to replace “animatedElement” with the ID of the element you want to animate. You can also change the text “Animated Element” to anything you want.
Once you have added this code, you can then add CSS code to control the animation. For example, the following CSS code will make the element fade in and out:
@-webkit-keyframes fadeIn {
0% {
opacity:0;
}
100% {
opacity:1;
}
#animatedElement {
-webkit-animation:fadeIn 2s ease-in 1; /* Safari, Chrome and Opera > 12.1 */
-moz-animation:fadeIn 2s ease-in 1; /* Firefox < 16 */
-ms-animation:fadeIn 2s ease-in 1; /* Internet Explorer */
-o-animation:fadeIn 2s ease-in 1; /* Opera < 12.1 */
animation:fadeIn 2s ease-in 1;
}
The CSS code above will make the element fade in over a period of two seconds. You can change this time period to anything you want. You can also change the “ease-in” value to “ease-out” or “linear”. These values control how the element fades in or out.
“Ease-in” means that the element will fade in slowly at first and then faster towards the end. “Ease-out” means that the element will fade out slowly at first and then faster towards the end. “Linear” means that the element will fade in or out at a constant speed.
You can also add other types of animations using CSS3. For example, you can add a “shake” animation or a “rotate” animation. To learn more about CSS3 animations, you can check out this tutorial: http://www.w3schools.com/css3/css3_animations.asp
