๐Ÿ’ง Premium landing-page effects with zero code

The effects that make a landing page feel expensive โ€” ripples that follow the cursor, sections that assemble as you scroll, parallax depth โ€” are a few hundred lines of code you never have to write. Describe the effect precisely, let Claude build it, paste it in. Here's the workflow, with two ready-to-use effect prompts.

The workflow

  1. Describe the effect physically โ€” what moves, when, how fast (this guide's prompts show the pattern).
  2. Have Claude build it as one self-contained file โ€” HTML + CSS + JS together, no dependencies.
  3. Open it in a browser, iterate in plain English โ€” "slower," "subtler," "more blue."
  4. Merge it into your real page once it feels right.

Effect prompt 1: The cursor ripple

Build a single-file HTML page: a dark hero section ([my dark hex]) where the cursor creates soft expanding ripples, like touching still water. Ripples: subtle, [accent hex] at low opacity, expanding and fading over ~1.5s, multiple ripples can coexist. On mobile, ripples emit from taps. Content on top: headline "[mine]", subline, one button โ€” content must stay fully readable, effect stays behind it. Use canvas, keep it 60fps, everything in one file, no libraries.

Effect prompt 2: The scroll assembly

Build a single-file HTML page demonstrating scroll-driven assembly: as the user scrolls into each section, its pieces (image, headline, text, button) fly in from different directions and settle into place โ€” like the section is being assembled. Use IntersectionObserver + CSS transforms, stagger the pieces by ~100ms, ease-out so they land softly, and animate only once per section. Three demo sections with placeholder content in my colors: [hex codes]. Respect prefers-reduced-motion by disabling the animation. One file, no libraries.

Taste rules (why pros' effects feel expensive)

Iterate in adjectives. You don't need to know what "easing curve" means โ€” "make it land softer" works. Claude translates taste into code; your job is the taste.
