Design your way

HTML5 has created a big buzz since it was introduced to us due to its new elements and attributes which made it the web technology that was needed to satisfy the ever growing user requirements.

A thing that attracted people’s attention about HTML5 is the ability to create animations that can be seen on every platform and browser, which made it a so called rival of Flash. While creating an animation seems an interesting thing, it isn’t an easy process for everyone. For web designers or developers, this might be an easy thing, but for everyone else, not so much.

This tool that I’ll present to you today is going to help you create animated, interactive content using HTML5, CSS and Javascript. The whole process is easy and you don’t need any coding skills. What’s a little bit surprising about it is that you can host your projects on the cloud, a neat feature that you don’t see everywhere.

Along with that there’s a really cool feature that allows you to share your animation with other people. For example you can share an animation as a template with your co-worker and therefore work together on the same project or you can share it with your clients to show work progress or as a part of your portfolio.

This online tool that does all these wonderful things is called HTML5 Maker and it is ideal for everyone that is interested in creating animated content.

How to use it

As I mentioned earlier, the process is really simple. Click “Create HTML5 Maker Animation” button on the homepage and start from there. It is better for you to sign in first by clicking “Sign In” button on the right top corner of your screen and then start working on your project. This way you can store your animation on our website without any fear of losing it.

For creating any kind of animation, you must first upload an image that has to be PNG or JPG and after that you get a lot of options and features that you can use to create the animation that you had in mind.

There are even templates that you can use to create sophisticated animations without spending a lot of time. These guys are updating their template collection quite often and there’s a big chance you will see new and interesting ones every now and then.

Everything is really simple and straightforward with this tool and I believe it’s the thing that a lot of people were waiting for. If you happen to stumble upon a difficulty in using it, there is a FAQ section and also tutorials that will guide you through various processes. Make sure to check out HTML5 Maker and use it to create HTML5 banners, presentations, slideshows or animations.
