Bring a New Life to Your Boring Website with Interactive Flip Boxes
Web design plays a huge role in how your audience perceives your brand. The first impression can either get them to remain on your site and learn about your business or leave and turn to your competitor. The modern web design requires much more than plain text and images. It interacts with your audience and helps you keep your leads.
If your site is bright and interactive, there’s a higher chance for users to convert. One of the awesome methods to bring life to your boring site is to use flip boxes. Wondering what are they? Let’s find out what flip boxes are and how the SP Page Builder Flip Box addon can turn passive users into active participants.
What is a Flip Box
So, what exactly are flip boxes? It is an interactive element that flips when you hover your mouse over it. They are simply awesome!
