Step-By-Step Animation (Beta)
We continue to improve the presence and quality of sites made with Nicepage and present the Step-by-Step Animation on scrolling, allowing you to add more interaction to your websites without coding.
You can set it for the basic Elements, like Text, Image, Shape, Box, etc., applying effects on scrolling. To build the Step-By-Step Animations, you need taller Blocks than usual.
NOTE: This feature is in BETA, and we are still improving its WYSIWYG and performance.
Simple Animation Examples
The following examples demonstrate how to make simple Step-By-Step Animations in Nicepage.
Animate Single Element On Scroll
Add a Shape, Heading, and Text. Add two steps to move and expand the Shape.

Animation On Scroll Types
For the Animation on Scroll, we added the options None, Basic, and Step By Step. The Basic turns the Animation On Scroll and plays it fully at once.
In the Step-By-Step Animation, its playback is synchronized as you scroll. If you scroll through half of the Block, only half of the Animation will be played.
Trigger Animation On Window
You can select the Window Top, Middle, or Bottom to trigger the Step-By-Step Animation. The Window Bottom means that the Animation is triggered once the Element edge crosses the browser window bottom line on the scroll.
Animation Steps
You can add, select, and delete the Animation Steps for the Step-By-Step Animation.
In many cases, it is enough to have only one Animation Step. For example, if your Element moves once in a single direction. However, if you want advanced movement, add more Steps and set their Properties.
Add Animation Step
Click the Plus Icon in the Steps section to add a new Animation Step.
Select Animation Step
Click on the Step Tab to select the Animation Step. The current Step is marked in blue. The Animation Steps show the Step Distance.
Delete Animation Step
Click on the Bucket Icon appearing on the mouse hover on the Animation Step to delete the Animation Step.
Animation Step Properties
For each Step, specify the Animation Step Effect Properties, like Distance, Move, Transparency, Scale, etc.
Animation Distance
Set the Animation Distance, scroll timing, and passing by which the Step Animation Properties are applied.
Animation Sticky On Scroll
Set the Sticky On Scroll Property to snap the Element to the Browser Window Top once it reaches it while scrolling.
Animation Move
Specify the Horizontal (X) and Vertical (Y) position changes to Move your Element while setting the Step Animation.
Animation Transparency
Set the Element Transparency change for the current Animation Step.
Animation Scale
You can Scale Elements by percentage for the selected Animation Step. By default, the value is set to 100%.
Animation Blur
Modify the Blur of the Element for the Animation Step. The effect is in pixels.
E-Commerce Improvements
We continue to improve the E-Commerce features and have added the Payment Method By Email per multiple user requests.
Payment Method By Email
For the Product List Element and Template and the Payment Button, you can now specify the Payment Method By Email, allowing you to send the Order without payment to all emails specified in the Send To property.
You can now process Orders in the Payment Popup without actually paying for it, and it will be marked as Unpaid in the Orders.
Old Price Position
Now, you can also change the position of the Old Price in the Price Sub-Element, showing it left or right of the Price.
Old Price Strikethrough
Also, we have added the Strikethrough style for the Old Price.
Color Picker Reworked
We have reworked the Color Picker in the Property Panel, moving your Custom Colors to a separate Tab.
Fixed Sitemap Format
We have fixed the format of sitemap.xml per multiple user requests, and now it is successfully validated on schema.org.
