An Amazing way to do Rollover Effects and Transitions via CSS3 - A Must See Tutorial

CSS3 transitions are awesome! They basically allow you to make changes to the values of a property during a particular time incrementally.

An Amazing way to do Rollover Effects and Transitions via CSS3 - A Must See Tutorial

This allows you to make super nice rollover effects in the properties of an element by eliminating the need to use javascript.

Syntax for CSS 3 Transitions:

The specification of the CSS3 introduces the new ownership transition which allows you to clearly specify the transitions you want. The basic syntax is:

.style {
   transition: property time easing;
}

Where:

  • Property: is the property to be applied (color, width, etc.).
  • Time: duration in seconds of the transition
  • Easing: type of acceleration of the animation (ease, linear, ease-in, ease-out, ease-in-out, etc)

 

Obviously this code only works in browsers that have implemented the CSS3 specification, then so that the current browsers could interpret it, it is necessary to add specific lines in accordance with every browser.

Example:

.style {
    -webkit-transition: property time easing; /* Safari 3.2+, Chrome */
    -moz-transition: property time easing;    /* Firefox 4.0+ */ 
    -o-transition: property time easing;      /* Opera 10.5+ */
    transition: property time easing;
}

This ensures that the transitions will be properly seen in chrome, safari 3.2+ , Firefox 4.0+ and Opera 10.5+. In the other cases, including IE 9 and earlier, you will not see the transition, you will see an abrupt change from one to another state, which is not big deal.

Drive Serious ROI for Your Company - A nifty little story and 12 tips to increase conversion

True story. One of my clients, a Marketing Manager at a fair-size Medical Company, had a dilemma. According to him he wasn’t getting enough visitors and his Demo and Info Requests were extremely low.

Drive Serious ROI for Your Company - A nifty little story and 12 tips to increase conversion

The Obvious Problem

He wanted something done fast and was willing to increase his budget on an already expensive and fruitless digital and SEO campaign to accomplish it.

So fair enough, we went into his Google Analytics account to observe his traffic statistics and find ways to fix his problem. To our surprise, his Website had a healthy and steadily growing traffic volume mainly driven via SEO, PPC, Social Media campaigns, and quality content writing through his blog.

The "real" problem had nothing to do with his digital campaign!
