Typewriter Text Animation

What You'll Create

Animated text that types out words one letter at a time, then deletes and types new words in a continuous loop. Creates an engaging, dynamic headline effect perfect for hero sections.

The Problem It Solves

Static headlines can feel flat and forgettable. This technique adds movement and personality to key messages, drawing visitor attention and allowing you to showcase multiple value propositions in the same space.

Perfect For

Hero sections, Product taglines, Service highlights, Portfolio introductions, Brand messaging, Landing pages.

What Makes This Different

The TypeIt library handles the typing animation logic - you just provide an array of words to cycle through. Settings control typing speed, loop behavior, and delays between words. CSS styles the typewriter text while the animation runs automatically.
