How to Create a Skeleton Screen Loading Effect

Hi, My name is Andy Leverenz and I work as a Product Designer at Dribbble. For fun, I design, code, and write. Check out my blog called Web-Crunch https://web-crunch.com where I publish design and development tutorials with the occasional vlog.

====================

My Let’s Build: With JavaScript series continues with a new installment where I teach you to how to create a skeleton screen loading effect with vanilla JavaScript, HTML, and CSS.

This tutorial is inspired by a recent trend I’ve seen emerging on both my employer’s platform (Dribbble), as well as many popular products we all know and love. Google images, for instance, utilizes this feature when you perform a search but they go one step further and dynamically determine the color of the image to be loaded.
