Animated Gradient Background

What You'll Create

Animated background color transitions using CSS keyframes, creating smooth gradient shifts that cycle continuously.

The Problem It Solves

Static backgrounds lack visual interest. This technique creates dynamic, animated backgrounds that shift through multiple colors and gradients automatically.

Perfect For

Hero sections, Landing pages, Event promotions, Creative portfolios, Attention-grabbing headers.

What Makes This Different

CSS keyframe animations cycle through multiple gradient states. Radial gradients create depth, and infinite alternating animation creates seamless looping effects.
