About this template
Read Animated Cards as a features section spec: the values were written down before the page was built. Colour is limited to black #000000 underneath and bright orange #FF9500 carrying the accents, set in JetBrains Mono. Delivery is React and Tailwind CSS, captured at 640x464 so the frame is fixed before any code is written. Take it on when the features section needs a decided order before any new sections are added.
Designed for
- If the motion has to be dropped, the features section still reads, with a fixed 12px display size and 16px spacing steps doing the hierarchy work.
- People who brief a model on a features section will use the 36,212-character prompt as the starting point.
- Made for content leads rewriting a features section whose headline has to stay as long as Animated Cards's.
What's included
- Sizes fixed in the brief. Type and spacing are drawn from one list here: a fixed 12px display size and 16px spacing steps. The frame proportions are recorded with the sizes, so a rebuild gets the aspect right as well.
- Colour with a job description. There is one accent (bright orange #FF9500) against black #000000, and the type does the rest of the work rather than a second colour. Everything else sits on black #000000, which is what keeps a saturated palette legible.
- Panels carry the middle. The grid does the reading order for you: panels of equal weight, one idea each, set in JetBrains Mono at a small size so the structure stays visible. Every panel uses the same internal arrangement, so the grid can be scanned by shape.
- The brief names the steps. Spacing is quoted the same way (a fixed 12px display size and 16px spacing steps), not as a scale that grows on its own.
Motion & interaction
Interaction kept local
The pointer work is small and specified: a slider that pages through content on demand, applied to the elements that already look interactive. The states are named in the brief, so the page does not depend on a hover-effect library. A few reliable states beat a long list of effects.
A canvas, not an image
A 3D transform is doing the visual work on the 640x464 frame, with the type set over or beside it. The scene responds to the viewport instead of sitting behind it as an image. Keep the interface flat around it.
The numbers behind the features section
Specific numbers age: a value that suits 640x464 may not suit your frame. The brief states a fixed 12px display size and 16px spacing steps anyway, because a stated value is easier to change than an unstated one. Nothing in this features section depends on a default.
What this features section gets right
Animated Cards works because its hierarchy is decided rather than decorated. The brief sets a fixed 12px display size and 16px spacing steps, so new copy lands inside the frame instead of reopening it. It gives a fintech reader the shortest honest route to the offer.
How Animated Cards sequences the first read
Order is the design here. the stats row, the card grid, the feature list and the background clip are placed so the offer lands before the proof, and a fixed 12px display size and 16px spacing steps set the gap between them. A fintech reader gets the offer before the options.
Frequently asked questions
What do I get when I copy the Animated Cards brief?
The captured brief runs 36,212 characters and covers the frame, the type scale, the palette and the transitions. Copying it gives you that text, and sending it to Studio stages the same request with the page already described.
Why does the entry name React and Tailwind CSS at all?
Animated Cards was built in React and Tailwind CSS, and the entry says so for provenance. The brief describes positions, sizes and timings, so it rebuilds in any framework that can set type and place elements.
Can I use Animated Cards in a client project?
The brief is a description, not a licence to redistribute someone else's assets. Keep the structure and the numbers, replace the media and the brand marks, and credit the source if a client asks where the layout came from. The reference was captured at 640x464.
