How to Add and Set Up the Animated Heading Widget on Your Form

Jotform’s Animated Heading widget is a handy tool that lets you display eye-catching, animated text to draw attention to important sections of your form—whether it’s a welcoming title, a call to action, or a section break. Choose from over 31 animation sequences to find the best one for your needs. Get people excited about your business with a bold, eye-catching headline.

Here are a few ways to use it:

• Highlight Important Sections — Use animated headings to break up your form into sections and make sure users don’t miss the key parts.
• Add Visual Appeal — A touch of animation makes your form feel more modern and engaging, especially if you want to stand out from plain text designs.
• Capture Attention Right Away —  Put an animated heading at the top of your form to greet users or introduce what the form is about—it’s like a friendly wave saying, “Hey, look here!”
• Make Promotions or Announcements Pop — If your form is tied to a limited-time offer, event, or special deal, an animated heading can give it extra emphasis.
• Match Your Brand Personality — Choose an animation style that reflects your brand—whether fun and playful, sleek and professional, or bold and eye-catching.
