Create smoother movement between pages and views with transitions that maintain visual continuity, reinforce the experience and make navigation feel more intentional instead of like an abrupt change of screen.
Layout
Use Pixel Transition or Block Transition for graphic brands and confident launch pages. Use Svg Brush Transition when the brand has a lighter illustrated system. Use Page Flip only when the page metaphor fits the content. Use Chess Grid or Pie Rotation on simple route trees where orientation will stay clear.
Page transitions work best on creative agency websites, campaign microsites, product launches, editorial portfolios, brand journeys, and low-frequency navigation paths where continuity matters. They turn the cut between pages into a brief brand moment.
Avoid route transitions in apps with frequent navigation, dashboards, checkout, docs, search flows, and utility products where delay hurts completion. If users are trying to act quickly, the transition should get out of the way.
Most page transitions should stay around 300–600ms. Longer transitions need a real loading reason. Never add fake delay just to show the animation.
Move focus to the destination page’s main heading or main region after navigation. Do not leave focus trapped in the transition overlay, and make sure the transition layer stops blocking interaction once the route is ready.
Use short fades, simple overlay reveals, or instant navigation on low-power devices. Avoid complex flips, heavy masks, and large full-screen motion when it slows down orientation.
