Simpleton Framework
Bells & Whistles
Not every feature needs to solve a problem. Some simply make a website feel more polished, responsive, and enjoyable to use. These lightweight effects are completely optional and designed to enhance the user experience without adding complexity.
Hover Lift
Apply the .simpleton-hover class to any panel, card, image, or
other element to give it a subtle lift animation when hovered.
Panel One
Move your mouse over this panel.
Panel Two
The animation should feel responsive but never distracting.
Panel Three
Simple, lightweight, and reusable.
Buttons
Hover effects work equally well on buttons.
Nested Hover Elements
Hover over the cards below.
Card A
Lift animation.
Card B
Works inside larger layouts.

Design Philosophy
Good interfaces are often remembered for how they feel rather than what they do.
Simpleton's "bells and whistles" are intentionally subtle. They should make a site feel polished without drawing attention to themselves. The goal is refinement—not distraction.
