    It is never been easier for businesses to represent themselves online. Websites and Blogs are being created at unpredictable rate, so how do you stand out from all of them? Animation and Motion Graphics are now becoming the way to communicate your message to customers who are increasingly difficult to impress.

    Benefits of using motion graphics in website

    1) Motion graphics can be a very effective and affordable way of delivering content on the web if used correctly and with the correct technology.

    2) It increases the usability as general public will be more interesting in videos and animations rather than simple text or images.

    3) It will be more interesting as per today’s trend of high resolution graphics and videos.

    4) It also helps in increasing brand awareness and confidence.

    Please share more ideas or thoughts on the same.

    Waiting..!!

    Thanks.

    It depends some users prefer graphics as cool as a gray Rolls while others prefer a superbly designed website whit a multitude of eye candy .

    I am currently working on improving the animation/speed ratio . I believe that it will help some websites . The problem is that even thou animation has great potential it also has far bigger potential to screw up your website .

    @torrfriend That's interactivity not animation . And TBH it's quite childish .

    Flash - present and future
    Gif - past

    People who still use .gif banners are like amish people to me. Why ride a horse to town when you could drive a car?

    I agree. Motion graphics are a great way to attract new users and keep them coming back. A striking motion graphics display on a website is much more appealing than a plain old "Welcome to our site".....

    low website loading time is important so only most of the site use GIF than flash....(also most of the guys are using noscript or some extension that blocks flash)

    ALSO DONT forgot about jquery......it may beat flash...atleast in future(more advantage than flash.....i also using)
