How to Use the Typed.js Script in Webflow

Typed.js is a powerful JavaScript library that allows you to create animated typewriter effects on your website. By utilizing Typed.js in combination with Webflow, you can add dynamic and interactive text animations to your web pages. Below is a step-by-step guide on how to use the Typed.js script in Webflow:

Step 1: Include the Typed.js Script

1. Start by accessing the Webflow Designer.
2. Open the Project Settings panel by clicking on the gear icon in the left sidebar.
3. Navigate to the Custom Code tab.
4. In the Head Code section, paste the following code to include the Typed.js script:
   ```html```

Step 2: Create an HTML Element

1. From within the Webflow Designer, select or create an HTML element where you want the typewriter effect to appear.
2. Remember the class or ID of this element, as you will need it to configure Typed.js later.

Step 3: Initiate Typed.js in Custom Code

1. Still in the Webflow Designer, go to the Custom Code tab in the Project Settings panel.

2. Under the Footer Code section, paste the following code:

   ```html

   ```

   Replace YOUR_ELEMENT_ID_OR_CLASS with the actual class or ID of the HTML element you want to animate.

Step 4: Customize Typed.js Settings

1. In the code snippet from Step 3, modify the strings array to include the desired text strings you want to display in the typewriter effect.
2. Adjust the typeSpeed and backSpeed values to control the typing and backspacing speeds, respectively. Experiment with these values to achieve the desired effect.
3. To make the typewriter effect loop indefinitely, change the loop setting to true. Set it to false if you want the effect to play only once.

Step 5: Preview and Publish

1. Save the changes in the Webflow Designer.
2. Preview your website to see the Typed.js typewriter effect in action.
3. If everything looks good, publish your Webflow site to make the changes live on the web.

Congratulations! You have successfully added the Typed.js script to your Webflow site and incorporated a dynamic typewriter effect using Webflow and Typed.js.
