Problem/Opportunity: Research shows visitors only give 3 seconds of attention to your website. How do we grab their attention directly to show our product?
Solution: Designed a loading animation that directs visitors' attention to the product without beating around the bush with aesthetics

Client/Brand:Stacks, a startup project for the Solana Collessum hackathon.
Services: Product Design, Framer Development
Tools: Figma, Rive, Framer
FULL DESIGN PROCESS
1 -> Context & Opportunity Discovery
keep coming across loading animations on the internet, which have aesthetic loaders but are applied on creative websites that are more design-focused, but what if we used these loading animations to cut to the chase and directly showcase our product?
2 -> Static Hero Design
Before adding any sort of motion, the hero sections must look like a well-curated landing page, which is complemented by meaningful and fitting motion animations.
Here's the static website after the loading animation, which was not yet designed, is supposed to look
3 -> Rive Implementation (THE HEART)
After multiple iterations i released the animation has to have a smooth transition from the loading animation to "FIT" back in the Hero / Landing page.
The Animation places the product in place, which is intentionally cut out to force the viewer to get up from their chair 😂 and scroll, grabbing their attention and making them check out the rest of the product and website with intention.
4 -> Intergration & Text
Created a Live website with Framer integration. Smooth handoff between Rive and Framer thanks to the built-in Rive plugin in Framer.
Crafted a hero section that stings the user's attention to the product and draws them towards the whole website, encouraging them to scroll and view more.
