I'm making a website using online Wix templates but the specific template didn't have all the things I needed so then I had to learn a little HTML/CSS. (I'm pretty new to it)

I've written the code below which shows a list of text (Company names) by sliding upwards. Once the user hovers the mouse on the text, the slider stops (onmouseover) and when the user moves the mouse pointer away from it the slider goes back to the same motion (onmouseout).

Okay so my questions are:

1. How can I animate this code so that when the webpage first loads this box will load in with some sort of animation?
2. And also instead of Company names, how can I add hyperlinks to the dedicated company's website?
