Animation is what turns a static front-end into something that grabs attention, and this beginner-friendly course teaches it from the ground up with no prior animation experience required, just a bit of comfort with HTML, CSS, and basic JavaScript.

Techniques covered

  • CSS and JavaScript animation fundamentals
  • Page transitions with Barba.js
  • GSAP for more advanced motion
  • SVG animation

Six portfolio projects

You'll apply each technique by building six real projects: a pop-up cookie banner, animated text for a landing page, an interactive form with input and SVG animations, an SVG-animated navigation bar, a clothing shop with page transitions, and a final project that combines everything into one fully animated website. Every project is portfolio-ready.
