To apply a hover animation to the tiles under 'My Work' in Webflow, so that the text fades in when hovered over and disappears immediately when hovered out, you can follow these steps:

  1. Select the tile element that you want to apply the hover animation to.
  2. In the right-hand panel, navigate to the 'Interactions' tab.
  3. Click on the '+' sign to add a new interaction.
  4. Choose the trigger 'Hover' from the dropdown menu.
  5. Select the action 'Start an animation.'
  6. Click on the 'Add new animation' button.
  7. In the animation panel, you can set the initial state of the text to be hidden. To do this, select the text element within the tile and apply the style 'Opacity: 0' in the 'Initial Appearance' section.
  8. Click on the '+' button to add a new step to the animation.
  9. Now, you will set the animation for when the tile is being hovered over. Select the text element and set the style 'Opacity: 1' in the 'Hover' section.
  10. To make the text fade in smoothly, you can add an easing effect to the animation. Choose the appropriate easing option from the 'Easing' dropdown menu.
  11. Click on the '+' button to add another new step to the animation.
  12. For the animation when the user stops hovering over the tile, select the text element and set the style 'Opacity: 0' in the 'Hover Out' section.
  13. Again, you can choose an easing effect for a smooth transition between states.
  14. Finally, click 'Done' to save the animation.

Now, when the user hovers over the tile, the text will fade in, and when the user stops hovering, the text will disappear immediately.

Additional steps for SEO Optimization:

  1. Use relevant keywords in the text elements that you want to animate to help search engines understand the content.
  2. Make sure your website has a clear and logical structure, with a focus on user experience. This will help search engines crawl and index your content properly.
  3. Optimize your website's loading speed by minimizing the file sizes of images and scripts used in the animations. This will improve user experience and SEO performance.

Example CSS code for the fade-in animation:

.my-work-tile-text {  animation: fade-in 0.3s ease-in-out;}@keyframes fade-in {  0% {    opacity: 0;  }  100% {    opacity: 1;  }}

Example CSS code for the fade-out animation on hover out:

.my-work-tile-text {  transition: opacity 0.3s ease-in-out;}.my-work-tile-text:hover {  opacity: 0;}
