Frontis Interactions - Block Animations with scroll, hover & click interactions

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 Click, Hover, View, Scroll, 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/view/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, view, scrolls, and more
• Animate elements 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

Why Motion (motion.dev)? Frontis Interactions uses Motion instead of legacy animation libraries to give you:

• Smooth, hardware-accelerated animations
• Modern API designed for UI interactions
• Better performance with less overhead
• Precise control over timing, easing, and sequencing

This means your animations feel fast, responsive, and intentional. Features at a Glance Scroll & Page Movement
