Truth is stranger than fiction.
Or at least fiction begets truth . Coffee One of the inclinations that web designers have to fight with clients about is the use of gratuitous animation on websites. This is almost always a bad idea, mostly because such trinkets do little or nothing to enhance the web experience, and quickly become distracting and annoying. There are, of course, a few exceptions to this rule and one I came across today is on the front page of Tim Hortons , pictured in part here. This little pouring-coffee animation is a perfect illustration for their front page, and a rare beneficial use of animated graphics.
