Text Effects

Text effects in web design are visual customizations that manipulate the appearance of typography to make it more visually interesting and impactful. These effects can include applying shadows, glows, gradients, or even creating animated 3D transformations to capture attention, emphasize key messages, and enhance a brand's identity.

Expert Tip

Emphasize readability over flashiness. The primary goal of website text is communication. An effect that is distracting or makes text hard to read will do more harm than good.
