Adding a touch of motion (and magic) to our product

The pledge
Our intention was never to insert a bunch of flare where it wasn’t necessary. Customers love Rippling because of its simplicity. But they’re also a hard-working bunch, so if there was a way to add a touch of wonder to their day, we wanted to capitalize on that.
We identified a few opportunities in the Rippling UI:
Empty states: Screens that invite the user to take an action
Error states: Screens that inform the user they lack access
Success and failure states: Screens that report the outcome of an action
Loading states: Screens that should disappear quickly
You see interstitials like these all the time. They communicate critical information, but we’re so used to them that our eyes usually glaze over. It’s the UI equivalent of sitting in the DMV. Every now and then, though, a brand will turn the DMV into Disneyland.
Charming but doesn't speak to Enterprise customers
