Page anchors and 7.1 animation

Site URL: https://icosahedron-banjo-ybsd.squarespace.com

I have a contact area in the footer of a website I am developing. I created a link in the top navigation that links to a div in the footer with the id of #contact. The anchor link works, but if the first element of that area has animation on it, like fading it, the anchor  jump does not initiate the animation. Users would just see a blank area. The only solution I've found so far is to cut animation off.

Also, is animating a fade in on every section default in 7.1 and if so, is there a way to kill it. I'm not talking about lazy loading, but the animation effect itself.

Sorry I can't show the site at this time because it is under development. Thanks.
