Elevate Your Squarespace Photography Portfolio Landing Page with Must-Use CSS Animations πŸš€πŸ“Έ

Creating a memorable first impression is key when it comes to your photography portfolio landing page. With Squarespace's flexibility and the magic of CSS animations, you can add a touch of elegance and interactivity to captivate your audience. Let's explore three must-use CSS animations along with their codes to make your portfolio stand out:

1. Image Hover Zoom:

Allow your audience to dive into the details of your captivating images with a subtle zoom effect on hover.

/* Add this code to your custom CSS settings */

.image-zoom {
  transition: transform 0.3s ease-in-out;
}

.image-zoom:hover {
  transform: scale(1.1);
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Apply the class image-zoom to the images you want to have the hover zoom effect.

2. Fade-In Animation:

Ensure a smooth and stylish appearance of your content by adding a fade-in effect as visitors scroll down.

/* Add this code to your custom CSS settings */

.fade-in {
  opacity: 0;
  transform: translateY(20px);
  transition: opacity 0.6s ease, transform 0.6s ease;
}

.fade-in.is-visible {
  opacity: 1;
  transform: translateY(0);
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Apply the class fade-in to the elements you want to fade in. The class is-visible will be added automatically as visitors scroll.

3. Text Slide-In:

Engage your audience with dynamic text elements that slide in from the side.

/* Add this code to your custom CSS settings */

.slide-in {
  opacity: 0;
  transform: translateX(-20px);
  transition: opacity 0.6s ease, transform 0.6s ease;
}

.slide-in.is-visible {
  opacity: 1;
  transform: translateX(0);
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Apply the class slide-in to the text elements you want to slide in. The class is-visible will be added automatically as visitors scroll.

Implementing the Animations:

  1. Go to your Squarespace dashboard.
  2. Navigate to Design > Custom CSS.
  3. Paste the respective CSS code for each animation.

Remember to replace .image-zoom, .fade-in, and .slide-in with the actual classes you use in your portfolio.
