Build WordPress Gutenberg block animations: scroll-trigger, hover & click interactions, timelines, easing, parallax, smooth scroll, and draggable effects.
== Description ==

**MAKE YOUR WEBSITE FEEL ALIVE — WITH INTERACTION-BASED ANIMATIONS.**

Your page looks good. But they feel… still the same. No motion. No response. No “wow.”

**Frontis Interactions fixes that.** It's built to help you create **WordPress animation** effects directly in the Block Editor **using an animation builder**, so your **blocks don’t stay static**. You can build **block animations** that react when visitors **scroll, hover, click, and drag** so your site feels alive with **animated blocks**, not static sections.

Frontis is building Interactions as part of one ecosystem (Theme + Blocks + Interactions), so you don’t have to juggle many plugins just to add motion to your site.

**The problem (you’ve seen it)**

Should you install 5 different animation plugins? Paste random code snippets from tutorials? Fight with timings until midnight?

Most **“WordPress animation”** setups turn into a messy mix of scripts, settings, and guessing. Frontis Interactions is built to give you a cleaner way to build motion, **inside your block workflow** (Frontis describes Interactions as a simple Gutenberg-based interface with triggers like click/hover/scroll, timed sequences, and style changes).

**What makes it different?**

Frontis Interactions is designed around a simple idea:
**This animation builder follows a simple flow: Pick a trigger → choose what happens → control timing → publish.**

According to Frontis’ own product messaging, the goal is to:
* Design interactions using a simple interface inside **Gutenberg**
* Set actions based on **clicks, hovers, scrolls**, and more
* Animate elements, update content, or change styles
* Sequence multiple actions with exact timing for more complex animations
* Work smoothly with **Frontis Theme and Frontis Blocks** for consistency and performance

**Features at a Glance**

**Scroll & Page Movement**
* **ScrollTrigger** - start animations when the page scrolls
* **Smooth Scrolling** — fresher page movement feel
* **Horizontal Scrolling** — scroll sideways sections
* **Sticky Elements** — keep key blocks pinned while scrolling
* **Scroll To Animation** — animated jump to a section
* **Scroll Smoother** — more controlled smooth scrolling
* **Parallax Effects** — depth effect while scrolling

**Animation Builder, Timing & Control**
* **Timeline-Based Animation** — multi-step animations with exact timing
* **Stagger Animation** — animate items one-by-one (cards, list items, icons)
* **Advanced Easing Functions** — control how motion starts/stops

**Text & Visual Effects**
* **Split Text Animation** — animate words/letters for headings
* **Text Scramble Animation** — “hacker-style” text reveal effect
* **Clip Path Animation** — animated mask/reveal effects
* **Flip Animation** — flip-style transitions

**Interactions**
* **Draggable Elements** — drag-based motion and interactions

**Coming Soon**
* **Preset Animation (Coming Soon)** — ready-made animation presets.

**Why you’ll use Frontis Interactions**

Frontis Interactions is made for people who want:
* **Animated blocks** that look clean and modern
* Scroll-based storytelling sections (hero → features → CTA)
* Sticky + scroll animations for better page flow
* Text effects that feel premium (split text, scramble, clip path)
* Interactive UI moments (drag elements, flip effects)

If you’re building landing pages, portfolios, product pages, or service sites, this is exactly the type of **WordPress animation plugin** workflow you’ll want.

**Built for clear results**

Here are examples of what users can build using these features:
* **ScrollTrigger + Timeline** → sections that animate step-by-step while scrolling
* **Sticky Elements + Scroll To** → sticky CTA + smooth jump to pricing/contact
* **Split Text + Advanced Easing** → premium hero heading entrance animation
* **Parallax + Smooth Scrolling** → depth effect for images and backgrounds
* **Draggable Elements** → interactive UI blocks (before/after feel, playful elements)

This is how you get **block animation** that looks intentional—not random.

**Works great with Gutenberg (and Frontis ecosystem)**

Frontis describes Interactions as working inside the **Gutenberg** workflow and alongside **Frontis Theme + Blocks**. That means you can build pages with blocks, then add motion on top—without switching builders.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Do I need coding knowledge? =
No. Frontis positions Interactions as a simple Gutenberg-based workflow where you set triggers (scroll/hover/click) and then define what happens.

Scroll animations, sticky animations, timeline-based sequences, stagger effects, text animations, parallax, and drag-based interactions.

= Can I create multi-step animations? =
Yes—you can sequence multiple actions with exact timing.

= Is this only for Frontis Theme? =
It works best with Frontis Theme and Blocks, but it’s built around Gutenberg, so it fits the standard block editor workflow.
