We’ve all seen it: a flashy animation that looks cool for about two seconds then becomes a headache every time you try to use the interface. Done wrong, motion feels like a gimmick. But done right? It’s a quiet powerhouse that can guide users, reduce confusion, and make a digital experience feel polished.

You know that moment when you're ready to sign up, buy, or submit a form, and then the website just gets in the way? The button is missing, the form is long, or you're not sure what happens next.

Let’s be honest—cookie banners don’t exactly spark joy. Most of us click “Accept All” just to get them out of the way.
