Uplers made it to Top 20 Web Design and Development Companies by Software World

Uplers made it to the Top 20 Web Design and Development Companies by Software World

Times are changing. These days, digital is more than just being present online. You need to engage, optimize, build trust, and create content to capitalize on opportunities. A decade back, owning a website was enough to earn credibility and retain business. Creating a next-level website would need much more than a bunch of coders and a coffee vending machine or may be just one of the top Web Design and Development companies.

Dr. Ralf Speth, CEO Jaguar Land Rover, quoted once, “If you think that good design is expensive, you should look at the cost of bad design.” Sounds profound, right? And who knows it better than the ever-evolving IT industry – an industry run by unique ideas, outstanding leadership, seamless execution, and, most importantly, keeping the clients happy. 

Since the inception of Uplers, our journey has been challenging as well as successful. Eight years back, when we headed off on this adventure, we did not imagine ourselves working with leading brands and agencies like Ogilvy, Amazon, Facebook, and Fox Studios. We just had one mission – to empower businesses across the globe in building a better Digital Ecosystem. 

With a focused-approach, backed by critical thinkers, solution finders, and a massive workforce of 500+ people, we not only helped fuel our vision but helped 7000+ businesses build theirs. Today, Uplers is one of the largest, globally recognized outsourcing agencies in the industry.

Uplers made it to “World’s Top 20+ Digital Marketing Agencies in 2020” and “World’s Top 30+ Web Design & Development Companies in 2020” on one of the leading Soft Discovery Platforms – Software World.

It is an honor for us to receive recognition from a platform used by websites like Capterra, G2crowd, and GetApp. We are grateful to the Software World for recognizing and appreciating our efforts.  

And we owe every bit of this achievement to great teamwork, commitment of everyone involved in the journey. A special thanks to, of course, our clients for believing in us – in our potential. 

Nevertheless, we believe that the Digital World is driven by real-time data and primarily by solving real-life problems. It’s the work-culture, virtues, and values we foster in our work culture. It is also the ‘People-first’ ideology that has helped us build an inclusive culture and a ‘Great Place to Work.’ 

We believe that our journey has just begun, and there are many more milestones that await us – our people.

Inspiring Websites with Smart Animations

Technology has risen a whole new level this decade and interactive elements are what it takes to keep the user engaged which, in turn, increases ROI. Gone are the days when there used to be just a sea of words and mere images on a website.

Today, animations help in attracting a user’s attention to the vital parts of the website easily, in providing easy navigation to the user and in letting the users know the clickable elements.

Animations should be short and fast. Any animation that lasts long would distract the user and if an animation slows down your website, no user is going to wait for the animation to finish.

Listed below are some awesome animations that many websites have used and they have really nailed it. Take a look and get inspired.

10. In Pieces

In Pieces Inspiring Websites

 

In Pieces displays many different species of birds and animals and the animation is a fascinating transition from one bird/animal to the next one when the user scrolls.

To wrap it up, animation has the power to increase the engagement level of the website and eventually boost conversions. But you must ensure that the animations aren’t long, don’t take time to load, don’t confuse the user in terms of navigation and don’t deprive the users of good user experience.

Hope this list satisfies your craving for bringing innovation to your website.

Recommendations:

  1. We recommend using a preloader since multiple animation in CSS and jQuery may take time to load.
  2. The will-change will make the browser use the best optimization beforehand in case you change that element afterwards. However, using it more than necessary might also cause the browser to waste resources and cause performance issues.
  3. Animating two elements within the same time frame will increase the load while rendering. jQuery with GSAP will decrease load compared to jQuery.
  4. Using gifs or image sprites for smaller animations is better than using JS.
  5. Using CSS3 animation or transition for run time effects should be used while scrolling or sliding.
  6. CSS3 animation or transition must be used compared to JS animate call back functions for less critical animations.

Using the above mentioned tips will not only help you in adding attractive and helpful animations but will also make sure that the website speed is not messed up with. You can also take a look at some top-notch animation software. Professionals at animation studios frequently employ a wide range of animation software that is readily available on the market.

However,  I would love to have a look at your perception of smart animations as well.
