Scroll-Driven Animations: The Next Big Thing in Web Design

The CSS Working Group recently introduced scroll-driven animations, and the data is compelling:

• 83% of top websites now use some form of scroll-based animation

• Engagement increases by 23% with thoughtful scroll animations

• Mobile users spend 27% more time on sites with smooth scroll effects

Here's what makes scroll-driven animations powerful:

  1. They're hardware-accelerated
  2. They run off the main thread
  3. They create natural, intuitive interactions

Remember: subtlety is key. The best scroll animations enhance rather than distract.
