In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to create stunning, animated headlines that grab your visitors’ attention. With step-by-step guidance from our co-host Nidase, you’ll learn how to use Elementor’s animated headline widget to enhance your site’s design. Let’s dive right in!
Creating a New Page and Setting Up the Layout
Start by adding a new page in Elementor. For this tutorial, we’ll be using a two-column structure. Once you create the layout, choose a Flexbox container to ensure your design is responsive. Adjust the content width to full width and set the minimum height to 100 VH (viewport height).
Next, remove any padding around the edges of the container for a cleaner look.
Adding the Animated Headline Widget
Now it’s time to add the star of the show – the animated headline widget. Simply search for it in Elementor’s widget panel and drag it into one of your columns. You’ll notice a variety of options to customize your headline’s animation style.
Enhancing the Design with Buttons and Text Editors
Add a text editor and a button below your animated headline to make your section more interactive. You can drag these elements from the left-hand side and drop them into place. For best results, align the content in the center and make sure the design elements are cohesive.
Customizing the Animated Headline
Elementor gives you two main animation options: Rotating Text and Highlighted Text.Rotating Text allows you to choose from various effects like clip, flip, and twirl. You can also customize the before and after text, creating a continuous loop for a dynamic effect. Set the duration and the alignment of your text to match your design needs.
Highlighted Text lets you emphasize specific words or phrases. With styles like circle, underline, double underline, diagonal, and more, you can create a strong visual impact. Adjust the duration and add animation for even more flair.
Styling and Color Customization
To make your headline pop, it’s essential to choose the right colors. For this tutorial, we opted for a white text color paired with a red animated text color on a black background. This contrast draws attention and makes the headline stand out.
Elementor also offers options to adjust typography, font size, and weight. You can experiment with different fonts like Poppins or Times New Roman to find the one that suits your brand’s style.
Adding an Image to Complement the Headline
Images can enhance your overall design and make your page more engaging. Add an image widget next to your animated headline and customize its size and placement to fit within the layout. This is a great way to create a visually balanced design.
Final Touches and Additional Options
Once you’ve added your animated headline and styled it to perfection, don’t forget to preview the page. You can always make adjustments, such as changing the font size, colors, or alignment.
In the highlighted text option, you can play around with different effects like strikethrough, x-mark, or curly underlines. Choose what works best for your message!
