Questions

Good to know

Is the Animated Headline block free?

Animated Headline is a Pro block. It comes with Bright Addons Blocks Pro, which has the same plans and prices as Bright Addons Pro for Elementor and includes all 62 free blocks.

Do I need Elementor for this block?

No. It is a block for the WordPress block editor (Gutenberg). Elementor is not needed. If you use Bright Addons Pro for Elementor on the same site, both plugins work side by side.

Will it slow down my pages?

No. Each block loads only its own small CSS and JavaScript, and only on pages where it is used. Blocks you do not need can be switched off in Bright Blocks.

Does it work with my theme?

Yes. The blocks work with block themes and classic themes, and follow your theme fonts. Wide and full width alignment are supported.
