The Power of Animation & Contrast
Subtle animations and thoughtful color contrast can dramatically improve CTA effectiveness by drawing attention and creating visual interest without being distracting.
Animation Principles
- Subtle Movement
Small animations on hover create delight without overwhelming the user
- Directional Cues
Animations that suggest the next action (like arrows moving right)
- Feedback Animations
Visual confirmation that an interaction has been registered
Color Contrast
- WCAG Compliance
All CTAs meet AA standard (4.5:1 ratio) for accessibility
- Visual Hierarchy
Primary actions use higher contrast than secondary actions
- Consistent Brand Colors
Using lime-green for primary actions creates brand recognition
