Web animations are a very large and important part of the internet these days. Web animations can be seen everywhere; web ads, websites, web applications, etc., are all places where we can see some kind of web animation. Web animations are achieved by different technologies. Some of the technologies that are a bit outdated today, such as animated GIFs or Flash animations, are being replaced by new technologies such as the use of CSS, SVG, and Javascript. In this bachelor thesis, we go through the beginnings of animation itself, web animation, to the technologies of achieving today’s/modern web animation. For the end of my bachelor thesis, we research the impact of web animation (for data display) on the user through a personal page created specifically for this bachelor thesis.
