Any video, animation or prolonged motion media should have the ability to be paused, stopped and hidden by the user. Avoid 3 pulse per second flashing animations on load. Intense and prolonged animations can drain a computer’s central processing power. Parallax scrolling has it’s own set of parameters uniquely controlled by the user.

Summary Points:

  • This includes animations, videos, banners

  • This assists user focus

  • Forced animation cause induce nausea and headaches in some users

  • A site host is not responsible for the broadcasting of live content outside it’s control

  • Parallax scrolling has its own parameters where the animation is entirely controlled by the user

  • Keep rollover animations and buttons simple and easy to visually absorb
