kinetichub

KineticHub is a lightweight suite of animated Gutenberg blocks for designers, agencies, developers, and site builders who want to add motion, media, and interactive UI effects to WordPress pages without leaving the block editor.
The plugin includes visual blocks for animated typography, video modals, audio players, before-and-after image comparisons, marquees, interactive buttons, hero backgrounds, scroll dividers, split scroll layouts, cursor reveal lists, ambient visuals, and motion-ready containers.
KineticHub is designed for modern WordPress workflows. Blocks can be inserted, configured, and reused directly inside the editor, while frontend assets are loaded through WordPress block asset registration.
Use KineticHub to build:
<ul>
<li>Animated landing page sections</li>
<li>Portfolio and agency pages</li>
<li>Interactive hero areas</li>
<li>Product and service highlights</li>

<ul>
<li>Block assets are loaded through WordPress block asset registration.</li>
<li>Shared runtime behavior is handled by lightweight frontend assets.</li>
<li>Video embeds are initialized lazily after user interaction where supported by the block setup.</li>
<li>Motion-heavy effects respect reduced-motion preferences.</li>
<li>Global motion settings can be configured from the KineticHub dashboard.</li>
<li>Blocks are designed to work with modern WordPress themes and performance optimization tools.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Accessibility</h4>

<h4>External Services</h4>
The plugin does not connect to external services on activation.
Some blocks may load third-party media only when a site administrator configures content that uses those providers. For example, the Kinetic Video Modal block can embed videos from YouTube or Vimeo when a YouTube or Vimeo URL is entered by the site administrator.
Third-party services may receive visitor data when embedded media is loaded by the browser. This depends on the configured media URL, the provider used, and the visitor’s browser behavior.
Supported optional video providers include:
<ul>
<li>YouTube</li>
<li>YouTube NoCookie</li>
<li>Vimeo</li>
</ul>
Self-hosted media files can also be used.
Provider endpoints that may be used when configured by the site administrator:
<ul>
<li>YouTube video embeds: https://www.youtube.com/</li>
<li>YouTube privacy-enhanced embeds: https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/</li>
<li>YouTube thumbnail images: https://img.youtube.com/</li>
<li>Vimeo video embeds: https://player.vimeo.com/</li>
</ul>
Provider policies:
<ul>
<li>YouTube Terms of Service: https://www.youtube.com/t/terms</li>
<li>YouTube Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy</li>
<li>Vimeo Terms of Service: https://vimeo.com/terms</li>

KineticHub – Animated Gutenberg Blocks

Animated Gutenberg blocks for motion, media, typography, buttons, marquees, dividers, and interactive page sections.

WP Messiah

MAKE YOUR WEBSITE FEEL ALIVE — WITH INTERACTION-BASED ANIMATIONS.
Your page looks good. But they feel… still the same. No motion. No response. No “wow.”
Frontis Interactions fixes that.
It’s built to help you create WordPress animation effects directly in the Block Editor using an animation builder, so your blocks don’t stay static. You can build block animations that react when visitors Click, Hover, View, Scroll, and Drag so your site feels alive with animated blocks, not static sections.
Frontis is building Interactions as part of one ecosystem (Theme + Blocks + Interactions), so you don’t have to juggle many plugins just to add motion to your site.
The problem (you’ve seen it)
Should you install 5 different animation plugins? Paste random code snippets from tutorials? Fight with timings until midnight?
Most “WordPress animation” setups turn into a messy mix of scripts, settings, and guessing. Frontis Interactions is built to give you a cleaner way to build motion, inside your block workflow (Frontis describes Interactions as a simple Gutenberg-based interface with triggers like click/hover/view/scroll, timed sequences, and style changes).
What makes it different?
Frontis Interactions is designed around a simple idea: 
This animation builder follows a simple flow: Pick a trigger → choose what happens → control timing → publish.
According to Frontis’ own product messaging, the goal is to:
<ul>
<li>Design interactions using a simple interface inside Gutenberg</li>
<li>Set actions based on clicks, hovers, view, scrolls, and more</li>
<li>Animate elements or change styles</li>
<li>Sequence multiple actions with exact timing for more complex animations</li>
<li>Work smoothly with Frontis Theme and Frontis Blocks for consistency and performance</li>
</ul>
Why Motion (motion.dev)?
Frontis Interactions uses Motion instead of legacy animation libraries to give you:
<ul>
<li>Smooth, hardware-accelerated animations</li>
<li>Modern API designed for UI interactions</li>
<li>Better performance with less overhead</li>
<li>Precise control over timing, easing, and sequencing</li>
</ul>
This means your animations feel fast, responsive, and intentional.
