Simple animations can bring a huge difference to your websites. Let's build something simple and unique.

Complete page background animation with CSS moving gradient

The above Codepen example shows a moving gradient animation on the whole body of the website.

Code snippet for the animation effect.

HTML 👇

<body>
  <h1>
     Animation effect on "body"
  </h1>
</body>

CSS 👇

body {
  background: -webkit-linear-gradient(
    -70deg,
    #a2facf,
    #64acff
  );
  background-size: 400% 400%;
  animation: gradient 5s ease infinite;
}

@keyframes gradient {
  0% {
    background-position: 0% 50%;
  }
  50% {
    background-position: 100% 50%;
  }
  100% {
    background-position: 0% 50%;
  }
}

what is actually happening ??

The background size here is 400% 400% and the background is moving. Thus, the animation is happening.

3. Implementing the same effect on a button or cards

The above Codepen example shows 🌈 the rainbow effect on a button.
