Build Gutenberg block animations with Click, Hover, & In View interactions. Create advanced animations without writing code.

== Description ==

**MAKE YOUR WEBSITE FEEL ALIVE — WITH INTERACTION-BASED ANIMATIONS.**

Your page looks good. But they feel… still the same. No motion. No response. No “wow.”

**Frontis Interactions fixes that.**

It's built to help you create **WordPress animation** effects directly in the Block Editor **using an animation builder**, so your **blocks don’t stay static**. You can build **block animations** that react when visitors **Click, Hover, View, Scroll, and Drag** so your site feels alive with **animated blocks**, not static sections.

Frontis is building Interactions as part of one ecosystem (Theme + Blocks + Interactions), so you don’t have to juggle many plugins just to add motion to your site.

**The problem (you’ve seen it)**

Should you install 5 different animation plugins? Paste random code snippets from tutorials? Fight with timings until midnight?

Most **“WordPress animation”** setups turn into a messy mix of scripts, settings, and guessing. Frontis Interactions is built to give you a cleaner way to build motion, **inside your block workflow** (Frontis describes Interactions as a simple Gutenberg-based interface with triggers like click/hover/view/scroll, timed sequences, and style changes).

**What makes it different?**

Frontis Interactions is designed around a simple idea:
**This animation builder follows a simple flow: Pick a trigger → choose what happens → control timing → publish.**

According to Frontis’ own product messaging, the goal is to:

* Design interactions using a simple interface inside **Gutenberg**
* Set actions based on **clicks, hovers, view, scrolls**, and more
* Animate elements or change styles
* Sequence multiple actions with exact timing for more complex animations
* Work smoothly with **Frontis Theme and Frontis Blocks** for consistency and performance

**Why Motion (motion.dev)?**

Frontis Interactions uses **Motion** instead of legacy animation libraries to give you:

- Smooth, hardware-accelerated animations
- Modern API designed for UI interactions
- Better performance with less overhead
- Precise control over timing, easing, and sequencing

This means your animations feel fast, responsive, and intentional.

**Features at a Glance**

* **Stagger Animation** — animate items one-by-one (cards, list items, icons)
* **Advanced Easing Functions** — control how motion starts/stops by ease and spring physics and spring time transitions

Text & Visual Effects

* **Split text animation** — animate words and characters
* **Clip-path animation** — reveal and masking effects

**Why you’ll use Frontis Interactions**

Frontis Interactions is made for people who want:

* **Animated blocks** that look clean and modern
* Scroll-based storytelling sections (hero → features → CTA)
* Sticky + scroll animations for better page flow
* Text effects that feel premium (split text, clip path)
* Interactive UI moments (drag elements, flip effects)

If you’re building landing pages, portfolios, product pages, or service sites, this is exactly the type of **WordPress animation plugin** workflow you’ll want.

Build your layout → add motion → ship.
