Animate Whole Sections, Rows and Columns on Your Pages - No Timing Maths Needed

August 01, 2026

You want your pages to feel polished as someone scrolls through them, with things easing into view instead of just sitting there. Until now, that meant animating every single element by hand and working out the timing delays yourself.

And the moment you added, removed or reordered anything, the whole sequence broke and you had to start the sums again.

That's done with.

What you get

You can now apply entrance animations directly to Sections, Rows and Columns, not just individual elements. Pick your effect on a whole block, and the builder sequences everything for you as visitors scroll down the page.

It animates in a sensible order too - Section first, then Row, then Column, then the content inside - with each piece waiting for its parent to finish. No delay calculations, no custom code, no maths.

There's a bigger library to choose from as well: Fade, Slide, Bounce, Flip, Rotate and Zoom, plus a few special effects like Light Speed and gentle infinite loops for glow or rocking.

How to use it

Head to your page in the builder and click on any Section, Row or Column on the canvas to select it.

Open the Animations tab in the sidebar and choose Entrance Animation.

Here's the part that saves you guessing. Hover over any animation card and it plays live on the block you've selected, right there on the canvas, before you commit to anything. When you find one you like, click to apply it.

Fine-tune it if you want

Once an animation is on, you can tune it to taste:

  • Duration - from 0.1 to 3 seconds
  • Delay - up to 5 seconds
  • Scale - from 0.5x to 2x
  • Easing - Linear, Ease-in, Ease-out or Ease-in-out

If you'd rather keep it simple, the defaults look good on their own.

About mobile

To keep pages loading fast on phones, animations are switched off on mobile by default. If you want an effect to play on mobile too, there's an Enable animations on mobile toggle on each block. Anything you leave off simply sits still while the rest sequence around it.

One nice bonus: your existing published pages already benefit from the smarter sequencing, so you don't need to go back and re-save anything.

Pick a page you use often, select a section, and hover through a few of the new options. It only takes a minute to see the difference, and your pages will feel that bit more considered.
