Basic static HTML version.
I was going to say "UI elements don't jump around while the page loads in" but this is basically the same thing.
That shit's been possible since like HTML 3.1... (not the right version but what ever) The fact it STILL happens is only proof in the amateur nature of most devs and/or their bosses...
News articles with dynamic scrolling that like, gradually reveal a graph and drip feed text. Just show me the fucking graph and text. Fuck.
Frankly, animations in general. Okay, for Web-based video games, maybe I get it. If your website is not a video game, why am I watching visual elements zing around? If I walked up to a bank or a grocery store and then had to stop and patiently wait by the door while some animation involving the store's logo or bank played, how many customers would take that store seriously? Why are you doing it on your website? I don't want fade-ins, fade-outs, buttons that slide in from the side, anything like that.
If they are nice and snappy they can be pretty and make the site feel polished I think. It just sucks when it takes half a second to close a popup or the side drawer
