## Description

### Animation Builder – Complex scroll-triggered animation with no coding required.

Animation Builder lets you craft everything from subtle transitions to complex, 
multi-stage scroll-triggered animations — all within a modern, familiar interface.

With intuitive controls and powerful features, you can build animations that respond
to triggers, follow logical rules, and combine seamlessly to create a rich, interactive
experience on your website — all with a fraction of the effort typically required.

### Features

**Scroll triggered** – All animations respond to your scrolling, activating only
when visible in the browser to ensure nothing is missed and performance remains 
smooth.
 **Lightweight & performant** — Minimal footprint, optimized for fast, smooth
animations. **Powered by GSAP Animation Framework** — Built on the industry-standard
animation engine for reliable, high-performance animations. **Zero-config defaults**—
works straight out of the box. **Beginner-friendly** — no coding knowledge required.

### The 4 types of animation included within Animation Builder

Animation Builder is designed to make animations effortless for everyone — whether
you’re a seasoned developer or someone who has never touched JavaScript. With multiple
ways to create and trigger animations, you have complete freedom to choose the approach
that works best for you.

**1. Simple Animation Builder**
 A clean, visual interface for creating smooth, 
single-step transitions. Ideal for quick enhancements when you need movement without
complexity.

**2. Advanced Timeline Builder**
 The heart of Animation Builder — a full-fledged
timeline editor that lets you design professional, multi-stage animations with precision
and control. No coding required, just creativity and a bit of animation logic.

**3. Ready-to-Use CSS Classes**
 Instantly add motion to any element with our library
of predefined CSS animations. Perfect for quick effects that grab attention — no
setup required.

**4. Legacy Activations**
 A tried-and-true method for scroll-based effects. Elements
activate as they enter the viewport, enabling elegant CSS transitions between states—
great for subtle, performance-friendly animations.

### Benefits

**Attract Users to Key Areas** – Apply animations strategically to highlight the
sections that matter most.
 **Improves engagement** – studies show that web animations
can improve “time on page” by up to 15%. **Increase Credibility** – Polished, purposeful
animations can make your website appear more credible.
