Animated Beam Border Card with Hover Effects
A card with a glowing beam border that follows the cursor. Perfect for portfolio and feature showcases.
Why use this Interactive component for Portfolio & Agency Sites?
Make your feature grids impossible to ignore. The glowing, cursor-tracking beam border creates a futuristic, highly interactive feel that sets elite agency portfolios apart from basic templates.
Unlike static cards, this component integrates Framer Motion to provide fluid micro-interactions that increase conversion rates and reduce bounce rates. Best of all, you can save hours of UI engineering by copying the code block above directly into your React or Next.js app.
How it works
The beam-border-card ships as a single React component you install via the ogBlocks CLI. Under the hood it leverages Framer Motion's motion primitives for GPU-accelerated transforms and Tailwind CSS utility classes for zero-runtime styling. The result is a component that animates at 60 fps while adding minimal bundle weight.
SEO & Performance Benefits
Because animations are powered by CSS transforms (not layout shifts), this cards component maintains excellent Core Web Vitals scores. It won't hurt your LCP, CLS, or INP — making it safe to deploy on high-traffic landing pages and SEO-critical routes.
