How to add Animated Headline to a ButterCMS website

Embed Animated Headline on ButterCMS

01

Create a Animated Headline component for ButterCMS on Common Ninja

First, create a ButterCMS Animated Headline component on Common Ninja. On the components catalog, find the Animated Headline and enter the Editor.

02

Save the Animated Headline component

When you're done creating the Animated Headline component, click on the Save Changes button at the right top corner of the editor. If you don't have an account on Common Ninja, you'll have to register first.

03

Copy the Animated Headline Embed Code

When you're ready to add the Animated Headline component to your ButterCMS website, click the Add To Website button at the top bar of the Editor. On the window that opens, click the Copy Icon to copy the component embed code. In the next steps, you will paste this code into your ButterCMS website.

04

Paste the code to your ButterCMS website’s HTML field.

Next, go to your ButterCMS website editor and find the HTML field. It is most likely in the form of an HTML/Code widget or module which you can find on the ButterCMS’s editor. Add it to your page, and paste the Animated Headline Embed Code you’ve copied before to the HTML field. Save and update, and that’s it, you should have Common Ninja’s Animated Headline component on your ButterCMS website.

05

Alternative Method 1: Through the HTML option in the text’s editing area.

If you can't find the HTML/Code widget or module, there's another way to put Common Ninja’s Animated Headline component on your ButterCMS component. You can just add the code to a special HTML section in the text editor.

06

Alternative Method 2: Add it directly to your ButterCMS website’s HTML code.

If you're having trouble finding a widget or a special part in your text editor where you can add the Embed Code, you can try a different way to add the Animated Headline component to your ButterCMS website. You can do this by putting it straight into your ButterCMS website's HTML code.

Why Use This Widget

Use the Animated Headline widget when you want your main message to be impossible to ignore without relying on heavy graphics. Headlines are where visitors decide whether to keep reading, so animation here can focus attention at exactly the right place. You can cycle through key benefits, use cases, or audience types using a single compact line of text, which lets you address multiple segments without clutter. This works well in hero sections, campaign pages, and product launches. The movement draws the eye, but the content stays readable and direct, helping visitors grasp what you offer in only a few seconds.
