SKILL

motion-direction

Art-direct animation for websites that mix normal content with "wow" motion — decide what to animate and what to keep still, pick the right tool (CSS, Motion for React, GSAP + ScrollTrigger, Lenis, Three.js/R3F, Lottie, View Transitions), set a motion system (durations, easing, stagger), and keep it fast, accessible and mobile-safe. Use whenever the user wants an animated, interactive, award-style or "keren" website, landing page, portfolio, hero, scroll effect, page transition, or asks "tambahin animasi", "biar lebih hidup", "kayak website Awwwards", even before choosing a library.

Great animated sites are mostly calm with a few moments that land hard. Motion supports the content; it never replaces it or blocks reading. Write a motion plan per section, as a table, and show it to the user for anything bigger than a single component: | Section | Role | Motion level | Effect | Tool | |---|---|---|---|---| | Hero | first impression | 🔥 signature | split-text reveal + 3D object reacting to cursor | GSAP SplitText, R3F | | Logos | proof | 💤 still | none (or slow marquee) | CSS | | Features | explain | 🌊 light | fade-up + stagger on enter | Motion / GSAP | | Showcase | wow #2 | 🔥 signature | pinned horizontal scroll | GSAP ScrollTrigger | | Pricing / form | convert | 💤 still | only micro-interactions | CSS | | Footer | close | 🌊 light | big type parallax | GSAP | Rules of rhythm: 1–3 signature moments per page. Everything else is light or still. Alternate intense → calm → intense. Never animate what the user must read right now or must act on (prices, forms, error messages, nav). Every animation must answer "what does this communicate?" — hierarchy, continuity, feedback, or delight. "Because it looks cool" is allowed only for the signature moments. Content mus
