๐ง 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
- Describe the effect physically โ what moves, when, how fast (this guide's prompts show the pattern).
- Have Claude build it as one self-contained file โ HTML + CSS + JS together, no dependencies.
- Open it in a browser, iterate in plain English โ "slower," "subtler," "more blue."
- 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)
- One signature effect per page. Ripple hero OR scroll assembly โ both together reads as a demo reel.
- Subtle beats spectacular: if a visitor consciously notices the effect before the offer, turn it down.
- Performance is part of the design: test on a phone; a stuttering effect is worse than none.
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.
