A website shouldn’t just look good — it should respond.

That’s where hover animations come in.

When a user moves their cursor over a button, card, or element, a subtle animation gives instant feedback. It makes the experience feel interactive, responsive, and satisfying.

With Levo, adding hover animations is quick, flexible, and powerful — no code required.

What Are Hover Animations?

Hover animations are triggered when a user places their cursor over an element.

Unlike other animations, they don’t wait for page load or scroll —
they respond instantly to user interaction.

This makes your UI feel alive and intuitive.

How to Add a Hover Animation?

Adding a hover animation in Levo is simple:

1. Click on the element you want to interact with

2. Open the Animation tab

3. Go to the Hover section

4. Choose a preset or customize your animation

That’s it — your element is now interactive.

Hover Animation Presets

Levo provides a variety of presets to quickly add interaction.

Here are the most commonly used ones:

1. Scale Up:

The element slightly grows, creating a “coming forward” effect.

Best for: buttons, CTAs

2. Lift Up:

The element gently moves upward.

Best for: cards, product tiles

3. Slide Left / Right:

The element shifts horizontally to left or right.

Best for: creative layouts, directional cues

4. Rotate:

Adds a subtle spinning effect.

Best for: icons, playful elements

5. Glow:

Creates a soft glowing highlight.

Best for: premium buttons, highlights

6. Custom:

Gives you full control to create your own hover effect.

Customizing Hover Animations

Hover animations in Levo are designed to be simple and intuitive.

You can adjust properties like:

• Opacity → makes the element slightly transparent

• Scale → makes enlarge or shrink the element

• Position (X/Y) → move the element on X,Y,Z axis

• Rotate → add subtle motion and spin.

You’ll also find advanced options like:

• Skew

• Offset

These are especially useful for cards and interactive components.

Transition Types

Just like entry animations, hover animations support two transition styles:

Tween

• Smooth, predefined motion

• Simple and consistent

Spring

• More natural and fluid

• Feels more modern and dynamic

Where to use Hover Animations?

Hover animations are most effective when applied to interactive elements.

Here are some great use cases:

1. Buttons & CTAs:

Add subtle scale or glow to make them feel clickable.

2. Cards & Components:

Use lift or scale effects to create depth and hierarchy.

3. Product Listings:

Highlight products with hover interactions to improve engagement.

4. Navigation Items:

Add small motion to indicate interactivity.

5. Icons & Micro Elements:

Use rotate or subtle movement for a playful touch.

Best Practices

To get the best results:

• Keep hover effects quick and responsive

• Avoid exaggerated or distracting motion

• Maintain consistency across similar elements

• Use hover only where interaction is expected

• Always test on different screen sizes

Hover animations should feel natural — not forced.

Hover animations are small, but they make a big difference.

They turn static elements into interactive experiences — making your website feel more engaging and intuitive.

With Levo, you can:

• instantly add interactivity

• customize motion easily

• create a polished user experience

— all with just a few clicks.

Sometimes, it’s the smallest interaction that users remember the most.
