Motion should make a page easier to understand, not harder to read. Add it when timing, emphasis, transitions, or interactive visuals help visitors follow the story.

What this guide helps you do

• Decide where motion helps the page.
• Add motion through the visual editor or AI-assisted workflow.
• Preview the result across devices before publishing.

Before you start

• Know the page goal and the section that needs motion.
• Use real or placeholder media that matches the layout.
• Avoid adding motion to critical text before checking readability.

Do it manually

1. Open the page in the website editor or visual editor.
2. Select the section, element, canvas, or component that should move.
3. Choose an entrance, emphasis, scroll, or interaction pattern that supports the message.
4. Adjust duration, delay, easing, and intensity.
5. Preview the full page on desktop and mobile.
6. Publish only after checking performance, readability, and reduced visual clutter.

Ask Faster AI

• Suggest subtle motion for this services page that guides attention to the call to action. Keep text readable.
• Add motion to the hero and proof sections using placeholder media, then show what I should review.
• Review this page motion and identify anything that feels distracting or too fast.

Review before saving or publishing

• Check text remains readable while motion runs.
• Preview mobile, because crowded sections often need simpler motion.
• Use motion sparingly around forms, pricing, checkout, and accessibility-critical content.

Common issues and fixes

• If the page feels busy, reduce the number of moving elements.
• If motion crops or overlaps content, adjust layout and timing.
• If mobile performance is weak, simplify effects or disable complex motion on small screens.

Use it in daily operations

• Use motion during launch, hero, proof, product, and storytelling sections.
• Keep a consistent motion style across related pages.
• Review motion after replacing placeholder images or videos.

Team handoff

• Write down what changed, who owns the next review, and which page, customer record, campaign, or plugin record should be checked next.
• If the work affects customers, include the public URL, test result, and any unresolved placeholder media in the handoff note.
• When Faster AI helped prepare the change, ask it to summarize the draft and review checklist so a teammate can approve the work without retracing every click.
