Can I Animate Text in Squarespace?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 1:05 am

Text animation is a great way to add some flair to your Squarespace website. There are a few different ways to animate text in Squarespace, each with its own benefits and drawbacks.

One way to animate text in Squarespace is to use the built-in animations. To do this, simply go to the Design tab and click on the Animations option.

From there, you can choose from a variety of animations, such as fading in or bouncing. Simply select the animation you want to use and then click on the Apply button.

PRO TIP: Squarespace does not offer any type of text animation feature. If you are looking to animate text on your website, you will need to use a third-party tool or code it yourself.

Another way to animate text in Squarespace is to use CSS3 animations. This requires a bit more code than the built-in animations, but it gives you more control over how your text animates.

To use CSS3 animations, first create a class for your text element. Then, in the CSS editor, add the following code:

@-webkit-keyframes fadeIn {
from {opacity: 0;}
to {opacity: 1;}
}

.fadeIn {
-webkit-animation-name: fadeIn;
-webkit-animation-duration: 1s;
-webkit-animation-fill-mode: both;
}
