Animated Heading

Create engaging headings with eye-catching animation effects.

The Animated Heading block turns a regular heading into an attention-grabbing element with built-in entrance and emphasis animations. Use it for hero titles, section headers and any text you want to stand out. It also supports a rotating "loop" effect for cycling through multiple words or phrases.

Animated Heading is a dynamic block — its final markup is rendered by PHP on the front end.

When to use it

  • For hero section titles that animate as the page loads.
  • For section headings you want to emphasize with motion.
  • For rotating taglines (e.g. "Fast. Secure. Reliable.") using the loop effect.

How to add it

  1. Click the + block inserter in the editor.
  2. Search for Animated Heading and select it.
  3. Type your heading text, then pick an Animation Effects option in the inspector.
  4. Optionally add a Loop Animation from the block toolbar to rotate through multiple phrases.

Adding an Animated Heading

Settings

Select the Animated Heading and open the inspector. Settings are split across two tabs: General (specific to this block) and Advanced (shared by all Styble blocks).

General tab

The Heading panel has Settings and Style sub-tabs. The structural controls live under Settings.

Nesting & relationships

  • Animated Heading is a standalone block — it doesn't require a parent.
  • Place it inside a Container or Column to position it within a layout.
  • Supports wide and full width alignment from the block toolbar.

Tips & common patterns

  • Use Slide Up or Fade In for subtle, professional hero titles.
  • Add a Loop Animation to rotate through several phrases in a single headline.
  • Highlight a key word in your heading to draw the eye, then pair it with a softer animation.
  • Keep your HTML Tag semantically correct (one H1 per page) for accessibility and SEO.
  • Define heading typography and colors in Global Settings for site-wide consistency.
