Building Your Site’s Personality

The two examples shared in this post are unlikely to be things you adopt on your site. Yet, well-designed transitions and animations are becoming an expected part of a modern Web experience. Windows 8 Metro style uses fluid and subtle animations extensively to help users better understand their interactions with the system. These literally make Windows 8 Metro style apps feel more responsive to touch.
We hope the examples here, the IE Test Drive demos, and the growing number of articles and examples elsewhere on the Web help you explore this new technology and add personality to your Web site.
