Staggered Animation

motionanimationsequencelistentrance

A group of elements animate sequentially with a small delay between each, creating a flowing entrance.

When to use

  • List or grid of items entering the viewport
  • Feature sections where each point should land individually
  • Keep delay intervals small (40–80ms) — large gaps feel slow

Examples

  • Team member cards animating in left-to-right on scroll
  • Pricing tier cards staggering in with 80ms between each
