🚨
This is not an official Unbounce feature. This functionality is based entirely on third party code, and has only been tested in limited applications. Since this isn’t a supported Unbounce feature, our support team will be unable to assist if things go awry. So if you are not comfortable with HTML, Javascript and CSS, please consider consulting an experienced developer.

Optional: Download the .unbounce file

Download the .unbounce template here.

Step 1.

Create a new text element for your ‘typed’ text and add some default text. Make this text element wide enough to accommodate your ‘typed’ text.

Step 2.

Click ‘view source’ and create a new innermost span around your default text. Give this span an id of ‘typed’ (or another ID/class of your choosing)

Step 3.

Copy the script from ‘typed.js’ and add to your page Javascripts with placement ‘Before Body End Tag’

Step 4.

Replace ‘.element’ with the ID from step 2.

Step 5.

Add your ‘typed’ words or phrases to the strings array

Step 6.

Optional: for blink cursor effect, copy CSS from ‘animated_cursor.css’ and add to your page Stylesheets

Testing

Like any other feature that you implement onto your page, you’ll want to see what effect it has on your conversion rates. We recommend running an A/B test and segmenting a small portion of traffic towards the page, just to be safe. Documentation on A/B testing can be found here.
