Advanced radial gradient techniques: dynamic backgrounds for professional UX

0 min read

If you were browsing the web circa 1998, splash pages were everywhere. Flash-powered intros with dramatic music, spinning logos, and “Welcome to our website!” animations were a standard part of the design process. Those days are long gone, but they haven't vanished entirely. Brands still use splash pages for age verification, country and language selection, or simply to create a bold first impression.

Radial Gradient Structure

The radial background component allows you to create endless radial patterns using two gradients, a few color stops, and varying background position/size combinations. This gives you greater control over the design of your project and enables you to create unique and dynamic backgrounds.


Size and Position Manipulation

With the radial background component, you can gain greater control over the size and position of your radial pattern. You can use background-size and background-position syntax separately rather than the repeating-radial-gradient() function shorthand syntax. This gives you more flexibility in designing your background and enables you to create more complex and intricate patterns.

Keyframe Animations

The Framer component uses Framer Motion’s duration-based animations, providing the flexibility to specify a range of keyframes for orchestrating the pattern's movement. This means you can create dynamic and interactive backgrounds that respond to user interactions or changes in the environment.

Discover the Potential

The radial background component is an exciting addition to Framer’s library that offers designers and developers greater control over the design of their projects. With its ability to create endless radial patterns, manipulate size and position, and use keyframe animations, this component opens up new possibilities for creating dynamic and interactive backgrounds.
