Accessible motion: why it’s essential and how to do it right

• Stephanie Cree shares some good UX tips for making your motion accessible:
  • Keep animation at the point of focus, to prevent zoomed in users from missing it outside the part of the page they’re zoomed in on.
  • Avoid flashes more than 3 times per second, which could trigger epileptic seizures.
  • Avoid parallax scrolling where the background and foreground move at different speeds, which can cause motion sickness.
  • Keep animations shorter than 1 second long.
  • Provide a setting to turn off all motion on your website. And, to facilitate this, you’ll need to design all elements of the page with and without motion.
