Beskrivelse
Sami Curtain Advertisement displays a gently animated curtain in a corner of your website. The subtle movement draws attention without opening the advertisement automatically.
When a visitor clicks the curtain, the advertisement slides in from the opposite side of the screen. The background dims, the curtain animation pauses, and the ad appears centered in an A4-style frame. Closing the ad reverses the animation and resumes the curtain’s movement.
