Animation set (micro-interactions)
We create a set of micro-interactions — small interface animations: button feedback, smooth transitions, state hints, pleasant details. They make the interface lively, clear and pleasant to use. Honestly upfront: micro-animations improve the product feel but are NOT a conversion guarantee; they are easy to overdo (an excess of animations distracts and annoys); they affect performance (especially on weak devices) and must respect the 'reduce motion' setting (reduced-motion) for people for whom animation is uncomfortable.
Animation set (micro-interactions) — overview
A micro-interactions set is designing and implementing small, functional interface animations: visual feedback on taps and hover, smooth transitions between states, loading and element-appearance animation, action confirmations, hints. The goal is for the interface to feel responsive, clear (animation hints what happened) and pleasant. Honestly about moderation, this is key: micro-animations are useful in MODERATION. They are easy to overdo — when everything twitches, blinks and animates, it distracts, annoys and slows the user down. Good micro-animation is unobtrusive and functional (helps understand the interface), not 'wow for wow's sake'. We make animation apt rather than maximal. Honestly about performance: animations consume resources — on weak devices/old browsers an excess of animations lags and drains the battery. We make them performant (proper techniques) and do not overload. Honestly about accessibility, this matters: some people tolerate on-screen motion poorly (vestibular disorders), and the system has a 'reduce motion' setting (prefers-reduced-motion). We respect it — for such users animations are softened/disabled. This is real accessibility care, not an option. Honestly about the effect: micro-animations raise perceived quality and convenience but do NOT guarantee conversion growth — it is part of UX/polish, not a magic sales button. Honestly about subjectivity: the 'pleasantness' feel is taste-based, agreement and a sense of moderation are needed. Honestly about access: access to the interface/code or mockups is needed. An important boundary: this is interface micro-animations; logo animation — 929; splash/loaders — 930. Picture this: instead of 'a static, unresponsive interface' — lively apt details that help and please in moderation. The base price starts from 25,000 ₽ (depends on the number of interactions).
Problems we solve
- The interface is static, gives no feedback on actions.
- It is unclear what happened after a tap (no feedback).
- Animations are either absent or excessive and annoying.
- Animations lag on weak devices.

FAQ
The more animations the better?
No, honestly: micro-animations are useful in moderation. An excess — when everything twitches and blinks — distracts, annoys and slows work. Good micro-animation is unobtrusive and functional (hints what happened), not 'wow for wow's sake'. We make animation apt and restrained rather than maximal — it is about convenience, not the number of effects.
Won't animations lag the site/app?
If done right — no, and we honestly take care of this. Animations consume resources, and on weak devices/old browsers an excess can lag and drain the battery. We use performant techniques and do not overload the interface. Plus we respect the 'reduce motion' setting for those for whom animation is uncomfortable. Performance and accessibility are a priority for us.
Will micro-animations raise conversion?
Directly — not guaranteed, honestly. They raise perceived quality, responsiveness and convenience, which is good for UX. But it is part of interface polish, not a magic sales button — conversion depends on the product, offer, the whole UX. We honestly say: micro-animations make the product more pleasant and clear, not 'sell' by themselves.
