“Improve the payment experience with animations” by Michaël Villar
This article is a few months old but it’s great at illustrating the importance of subtle animation in web and app design. It outlines some of the animations Stripe Checkout uses to improve user understanding and experience.
With the right animations, you can make things clearer, connect users’ actions to consequences, change their perception of time, and most importantly, delight your user.
Side note: this comes at the perfect time as I’m beginning to think about how to improve the entire checkout experience over at Akismet.
