+  "text": "Motion can help the user understand how to perform actions on a website and also what will happen when they perform these actions. Take for example the website we did for Les Journées Portes Affermées. When we land on the website there is a small animation indicating that you can drag the handle to open the door. That's how the user can enter the experience. And with the animation, it's really easy to understand what you have to do, simply turn the handle. But without the animation, it may not be as clear. Loading animation are also a must-have when the user has to wait for something to load. It shows that the site didn't just stop working and that something is being loaded in the background. If you know that you're going to have to keep the user waiting, then you should find a way to integrate a loading animation that will make the wait as seamless as possible. In the GridSpace website, when we click on the project from the home page, the user has to wait for the content of the next page to be loaded before he can scroll down. So we have a small spinner loader at the bottom right of the screen to show that something is being loaded. And once the page is loaded, that same spinners transforms into narrow to indicate that you can now scroll down and explore the rest of the page. During a page transition like the one we just saw, when some elements are present both at the beginning and at the end of the transition, it's a good idea to keep them on the screen. So instead of having them disappear and reappear, we can just animate them to their new location. That way it makes it easier for the user to understand what just happened. It's called visual continuity. I really like to use this notion of visual continuity in page transitions. If you know that an element will be present on both pages, try to figure out a way to keep it visual during the transition. Motion can also show the immediate effect of an action done by the user. By confirming the action visually, we can inform the user on what has happened, is happening, or what is about to happen. Two years ago, I had the pleasure of working with awards on their annual nominees website. And we did this nice little animation when the user votes on a forum project. You had to click and hold for a few seconds and then your vote was confirmed. The motion here really helps to understand what is happening as you vote and what just happened once you voted. With the little companies making it really fun. It's a nice way to reward the user for the task he just did and at the same time make his journey more memorable. Like the animation you get after using WeTransfer, it's so fun, it makes you want to upload a bunch of files.",
