AtoZ CSS Quick Tip: Keyframe Animations

K is for @keyframes

In this week's tip, we look at ways to handle vendor prefixes and a quick tip for refactoring your @keyframes into a more condensed format.

We talked a lot about @keyframes in the video about the letter K. Here are some extra tips that you might find useful when working with CSS animations (and any current or future experimental properties).

Tip 1

When setting up your keyframes for an animation, it's quite common for certain points of the animation to share the same values for particular properties. Instead of having a long list of keyframes, you can combine them into a comma separated list, just like you would with selectors that share the same properties and values.

[code language="css"]
@keyframes pulse {
0%, 50% { font-size: 10px }
25%, 100% {font-size: 20px }
}

/* just like */
h1, h2, h3 {
font-family: 'Avenir', sans-serif;
}
[/code]

Tip 2

Support for CSS animations is very good -- at the time of writing the global support is 89.5% and all supporting browsers have both @keyframes and animation unprefixed.

Important Social Media Statistics That Influence Business Decisions (infographic)

Important Social Media Statistics That Influence Business Decisions

One of the main reasons why social media marketing is important for business is because of the huge number of users. Around 70% of the U.S population has at least one frequently used profile, and more than half of them use numerous social networks. On a global scale, the number of people who actively uses social networks is around 2.307 billion and that number is expected to rise up to 3 billion by 2019.

Of course, when we talk about social networks, the first thing that comes to mind is selfies and pictures of meals, however, there is so much more than that. Even B2B purchases are affected by social media sales and they can play a vital role in any purchasing decision. Consumers even claim that their buying process is largely influenced by positive feedback in the comment section.

The only real problem with social media is that its ROI is hard to measure; however, it is more than clear that they are a vital part of a good advertising campaign. And, as the population on social networks grows, so will the amount of resources invested in social media marketing. Here are some of the statistics that every business owner should be aware of.
