Creating Layered Graphics or Interactive Images on Web Page
Hey, guys.
I have a side project I'm messing around with. I'm making a web site and I would like for it to have some interactive images, but I don't know where to start.
One Page:
- On the web page is a grid.
- Within each box of the grid, there is a basic symbol, such as a circle
- When one hovers over the circle, a preview appears of an image or video specific to that circle
- When one clicks on the circle or on the preview, the image or video opens in a new window, new tab or some other way which doesn't obscure the grid
- A user can change the symbol from a circle to an X (or something else)
Another Page:
- On the web page is an image, such as a map
- On that image are buttons
- When a user clicks on a button, icons specific to that button appear on the map.
- When the users clicks again, the icons disappear
- There can be multiple types of icons on the map
For the latter page, I'm thinking of a basic image with layers and the buttons simply make the layers visible or invisible.
Regardless, I don't have a clue where to begin. Do I use something like Adobe Animate? Is there some other tool out there which can create this type of interactive content on a website?
So far, waving my VooDoo stick at the screen and chanting hasn't helped.
Thanks!

Serena,
Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, while Webflow looks pretty interesting, it doesn't really have any information on visibility, etc. or layered images.
Thanks again, though!
