Animations are good for everything website which wants to be dynamic (provided not to exaggerate). It's a good way to create interaction among your visiteurs.
What animations bring in addition? This is not necessarily perceptible at first, but it will give you an advantage over the competition.
However, one of the reasons we do not see a lot of site offering animations is because few WordPress users are aware of the tools that are available to them.
There are a number of WordPress plugins which can help you to add these animations easily, and this is what I propose to you in the following:
1 - Amazing Hover Effects Plugin
For websites that feature images, icons, and blocks of text, this plugin offers a bunch of animation options for these design elements. You will find in this plugin more than 75 types of animation that are triggered each time someone passes over the animation point. Additionally, you can customize just about any animation, including font, colors, links, and more.
2 - Animate It!
The developer of “Animate It! "Took the styles from" Animate.css "and converted them into an easy to use plugin. Unlike a lot of other free animation plugins you'll find on this list, “Animate It! Offers a more flexible approach to animation. This means that you won't have to use several different plugins to add animations to different aspects of a page.
3 - Animated Headline Plugin
Looking to spruce up the headlines on your site? This plugin offers ten different animation effects that allow you to add animations that you can integrate into your titles. All you need to do is figure out how to apply the shortcode.
4 - Social Media Flying Icons Plugin
Floating social media icons are great because:
1) They add new headroom for your visiteurs.
2) they keep your icons always visible to your visiteurs (without being unpleasant). With this plugin, you don't have to worry about creating complex animations. It comes already integrated with a smooth floating action.
5 - Image Hover Effects Plugin
If you are a fan of hover-triggered animation, I suggest you take a look at this plugin. The plugin offers Hover effects and over 40 different animation effects and comes with two different styles (circle or square). Although similar in element calibration for animation, the style of it is a bit more advanced and can better fit your site. I suggest you check the demo before using it.
6 - Meta Slider Plugin
For those of you who agree that sliders are good and want to use it on your blog, you should consider using Meta Slider. This plugin not only has four different widgets, but each one comes with its own set of transition effects so there are a lot of options for making animations.
That's all for this list of plugins, if you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact us.
