About this Course

In this free Webflow course, I'm teaching you how to implement and deploy a real site for Angle from scratch without a single line of code. It's going to be a fully functional site with multiple pages, advanced interactions, dynamic data, payments and animated assets from Shape.

Multiple Lottie animations

Looping animations, especially in Lottie tend to take a huge strain on performance. If you're planning to use multiple Lottie files that are looping, make sure to use Interactions to enable loop while scroll into view.

Lottie Animation

Start by selecting the Container in the Hero section. Press A, scroll down to Media and add Lottile Animation. Set its width to 600 and height to 450. Click on Choose Lottie Sequence and select Lottie1.json.

Customizing Lottie File

Select Lottie Animation and go to Settings. Check the Loop option, this ensures that the animation keeps playing. Choose the Canvas option in Render. The main difference between SVG and Canvas is that SVG supports more features but is less performant while Canvas is the opposite. Since, our animation is simple, we chose Canvas.

Interactions

Go to Interactions and add a new Element Trigger called 'While scrolling in view'. In Action, choose Play Scroll Animation. Create a new Animation and name it Lottie1. In Scroll Actions, add the action called Lottie. At 0%, set it to 0 and at 100% set it to 100. Drag the tile at 0% to 30% to stop it from starting too early.

Logo

Click on Container, press A and add a Div Block. Place the Div Block above Lottie Animation and set its class name to Logo. Give it a margin top and bottom of 100. Set Display to Flex and Justify to Center.

Logo Image

Add a new Div Block to Logo and set its width as well as height to 66. Set the background to white and set A to 80%. Set the border-radius to 20 and add a drop shadow. Set Angle to 180, Distance to 20, Blur to 40, color to black and the A in color to 15%. Set the new block's Display to Flex and Justify to Center as well. Add an image element to it and choose the Plugin image.

Layout

Select Hero and add a new Container element to it. Rename the 1st Container to Hero Container to make it easier to differentiate. To resolve the issue of content not being pushed due to the fixed height, reset height to Auto. Rename the 2nd Container to Place Container. Set its Display to Flex.

Reusing Components

Now, we'll reuse the Content Block in Hero. To do so, copy the Content Block and paste it inside the Place Container. Move the Lottie Animation inside Place Container as well, right above the Content Block. Since, we won't be needing the Heading and the Purchase button, remove those. Rename the Div Block to Logos. Lastly, select the first option in Distribution so that the Download button doesn't stretch itself.

*Note: You'll notice the changes also take effect in the 1st Content Block, that is because both the Content Blocks have the same class.

Heading

Let's add a new element by pressing A and selecting Heading. Reset the margin to 0. Set the font-size to 40, font-weight to Medium and the color to black. Replace the 'Heading' text to whatever you want to add as a title.

Responsiveness

We'll start by fixing the responsiveness for tablets. Click on the tablet icon and reduce the width of the illustration to 400 and height to 300. To resolve the stretching issues, go to Settings and switch to SVG.

Mobile Responsiveness

Click on Mobile Landscape and set flex-direction of Place Container to Vertical. Align the items to Center. Select Lottie Animation and set its width to 100%.

Conclusion

In this section we learned about Lottie animation. You can play around and add more Lottie files as well as replace the existing ones by grabbing Lottie files from sites like Shape.so. In the next one, we'll learn about CMS. See you there!
