Hi,
Does somebody know how the animated background on the frontenddisegner.com website is accomplished?

The background itself is just a colorful image, but the moving shapes are animated by a rather complex bit of JavaScript that is drawing on a <canvas> element that overlays the background.
This is where familiarity with the Chrome Dev Tools can really come in handy.

The Flame animation is done with CSS. If you right click on the flame and "inspect element" you will be able to see the rules for the animation.
