<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Animated Page Dividers</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css">
</head>
<body>
<section class="section1">
<h1>Welcome to Section 1</h1>
<p>This section introduces the wave effect as a page divider.</p>
</section>
<div class="wave-divider">
<div class="wave"></div>
</div>
<section class="section2">
<h1>Welcome to Section 2</h1>
<p>The zigzag effect is a bold design choice that separates content dynamically.</p>
</section>
<div class="zigzag-divider"></div>
<section class="section3">
<h1>Welcome to Section 3</h1>
<p>The curved divider creates a subtle and elegant transition.</p>
</section>
<div class="curve-divider">
<div class="curve"></div>
</div>
<section class="section4">
<h1>Welcome to Section 4</h1>
<p>Mix and match different dividers for unique visual appeal.</p>
</section>
</body>
</html>Step 2: Adding CSS for Styling and Animation
To enhance the sections with unique dividers, use the following CSS:

}
section {
padding: 100px 20px;
text-align: center;
color: white;
}
.section1 { background-color: #6C63FF; }

.section3 { background-color: #63C6FF; }
.section4 { background-color: #6CFF6C; }
