See every featureUser interaction is vital to increase conversion rates and reduce bounce rates. Our goal is to make your website user interactive. You can increase the user experience of your website by letting users interact with the website even more. Choose from a large selection of animation styles. The animations work on-site load and on mouse-over/mouse-out of any elements on your storefront.
This app lets you display a satisfying preloader when your site is loading. Add a page loader for the loading screen with smooth animation, upload your logo, add a progress bar and counting percentage, background transitions, and much more. Adjust your loading screen with many preloader options and make it unique. The app uses CSS3, so it won’t imply your site speed unless you upload a large background image.
- Animate the buttons, images to create a uniquely engaging customer experience.
- No coding skills required to install the app.
- This app does not affect the loading time of your website.
- 8 preloaders including a logo
- 24 options: color, opacity, background transition, size, font, and more
