8 Creative Text Animations for Your Website's Hero Area 😍🎉

Modern web development is about grabbing the visitors' attention. There are several ways of making your website more eye-catching and engaging. One of the most appealing methods is adding animated hero text to your landing page.

In this article I have compiled some of the most creative effects I've seen, to inspire you for your own projects in the future.

For each animation, I will provide a direct link, an interactive preview so you can get an initial impression on the fly as well as the author links, so you can explore more of their work, too.

Also I read that .tk .cf domains are not good for seo.
So any way to get good domain like .com, .tech, .xyz, etc for free with seo.

Instead of searching just for a second level name, try including the top level name as well (.tk, .ml, .ga, .cf or .gq). So, instead of "techwithspandy" search for "techwithspandy.tk", etc.

You can get some really cheap ones (other than .tk, .ml, .ga, .cf or .gq), just pick a registrar and check their prices. I would suggest namecheap.com, but here is discussion with more alternatives 😉

Hey dude, just a heads up: it's not really appropriate to derail someone's post with begging them to hold your hand through an unrelated process and asking for their private contact info. Go look at the discussion they've linked and do some research on your own.
