ANIMATION FOR WEBSITE

FAQ #

• What’s the difference between your animations and what a typical motion designer delivers?

  Motion designers deliver After Effects files. Developers implement them incorrectly — frame rate drops, physics broken, no mobile testing. We design and implement in one team. The animation that renders in the preview renders identically in production, on iOS and mid-range Android.
• How do your animations affect PageSpeed and Core Web Vitals?

  We instrument every animation against Lighthouse before delivery. CSS and Lottie animations run off the main thread — no JavaScript bottleneck on LCP. WebGL effects are render-loop isolated. Target: LCP unchanged, CLS 0, TBT under 100ms. If an effect conflicts, we flag it before implementation, not after.
• Do you provide custom animations?

  Yes, we create animations built to your brand’s specification. Whether it’s a unique interaction or a specific visual style, we design and implement it to match your exact requirements.
• Is it possible to animate elements that are already in my website design?

  Yes. If you have a website design in place, we animate the existing elements. Provide your design files and we handle the rest.
• What drives the timeline on an animation project?

  Two variables: asset complexity and integration scope. A single Lottie hero icon takes 3–5 days. A full page animation system — hero, scroll effects, hover states, route transitions — takes 3–4 weeks with mobile performance testing included. The Discovery Phase scopes it exactly before we start.
• Will I need to manage the development process day-to-day?

  No. We work from your design files and brand guidelines. Each milestone delivers playable animation previews for your review. Direction changes happen at milestone boundaries — not through daily design feedback cycles.
• How does this differ from your Interactive Shader service?

  Animation for Website covers DOM-based motion design — scroll-triggered transitions, hover effects, GSAP timelines, Lottie/Rive playback. Interactive Shader covers GPU-programmed effects — fluid simulations, generative art, particle systems written in GLSL/WGSL. If your project needs CSS/JS motion design, this is the service; if it requires custom GPU shader code, Interactive Shader is the fit.
• Do you sign NDAs?

  Yes. We sign NDAs before any technical discussion begins, on request.
• Who owns the code after delivery?

  You do. IP, source code, source files, and deployment runbooks are fully assigned to you on completion — no vendor lock-in.
• Do you work with formal contracts?

  Yes. Signed contracts with fixed scope per phase. You’re contracting with a registered entity, not an individual.
