So, you have great content on your website, but you feel like something’s missing. Sound familiar? No worries, we’ve been there.
Every so often, you might find yourself in a creative rut. Luckily, you can up your website game with these three simple website features to give it the oomph it needs to support all your awesome content!
Website Feature #1: Rotating Text
We recently added spinning text to a website we designed for a college. And with just a little bit of code, you too can add this cool website feature to your own. It’s something subtle yet impactful, and we love it so much that we just had to share it.

Website Feature #2: Gallery Transitions
We all love gallery transitions when used appropriately. One unique way to use this cool website feature is to help clients step into what could be their future home, office, or adventure! With a little bit of creativity, we put together a quick example of how you can use the gallery transition feature and a photo (background cut out) on top to create something different for your website!
In what other cool ways could you incorporate this feature into your website?
Website Feature #3: Photo GIFs
Sure, you tell your friends you’re angry, but if you don’t share a GIF in your text thread to prove it, will they really take you seriously? Not likely. GIFs can add so much personality and flair and showcase your brand. Even the simplest of GIFs can engage your target audience.
There are different ways to create GIFs, but we love using the Frame Animation feature in Photoshop. It doesn’t have to be complex. Simple GIFs using a few photos can create something really fun!
