Bring your site to life with running text, an animated text element that highlights your message in motion. It’s a simple, code-free way to showcase updates, promos, or news and keep visitors engaged from the moment they land on your page.

Adding running text

Running text lets you add animated, scrolling messages to your site. It’s perfect for announcing sales, events, or important news, making updates impossible to miss. Choose a style, customize your message, and keep your site looking energetic and up to date.

To add running text:

Go to your editor.
Click + Add at the top left of the editor.
Select the Text category.
Select the Running text tab.
Drag a design you like onto your page.
Enter your text:
1. Click Edit Text on the action bar.
2. Enter your text under Text.

Tip:

While entering your text, you can add emojis using the relevant keyboard shortcut:

PC: Windows logo key + . (period)
Mac: Ctrl + Cmd + Space

Customizing running text

Bring your ideas to the forefront by making your running text truly yours. Pick a font that matches your style, add your brand’s colors, and set the mood with the scrolling direction and speed. With custom separators and flexible spacing, every detail can reflect your unique voice and capture your visitors’ attention.
