Respect reduced motion during page transitions

What to change

Ask the supplier to provide an effective reduced-motion experience for decorative transitions and automatic movement.

A worked example

Illustrative example

A section opens immediately or with a restrained transition under the visitor's reduced-motion setting, while its expanded state and newly available content remain clear.

How to check the result

Accept when the supported preference meaningfully reduces unnecessary movement without hiding information or breaking interaction feedback.

A mistake to avoid

Removing all visual feedback can make state changes confusing; replace motion with clear stable states rather than leaving the action unexplained.

Your action checklist

Use these checks to prepare a discussion with your team or supplier. Tick a check when you have recorded the decision or evidence, rather than when a feature has simply been promised.

Decisions to recordEnable the system's reduced-motion preference and revisit pages with animated entrances, scrolling effects and expanded panels. Compare their behaviour with the standard presentation.Complete the main journey with the preference active. Ask the supplier to ensure essential state changes remain understandable when decorative movement is reduced.Test media and third-party elements separately. Record any movement the page cannot control and identify a practical user-operated pause route where appropriate.
