The typewriter effect can boost user experience by replacing typical content with fascinating animated text. It gradually appears before your visitors and engages them on your website. However, if you are a Divi user, not having an in-built typewriter functionality is a crucial drawback.
Then we looked into the third parties. And, thanks to DiviFlash for offering such assistance. In this “How to Create Typewriter Effect in Divi” tutorial guide, we will be exploring a section design made with divi typing text module by DiviFlash.
This design is available for download to make your web design process fast and smooth.
Here is a sneak peek of our design-
Pre-requisition
- The latest version of Divi Theme is installed.
- The latest version of the DiviFlash Plugin has been Installed. Check our guide on how to install the DiviFlash plugin.
By default, the Typing Text module is turned OFF. Click here to know about how you can turn this ON.
Now we are all set. Let’s recreate this design from scratch and explore the all-new features this module offers.
To get started, create a new page and choose to build from scratch. Or insert a section on your existing page. We are using a regular section for this design.
Step 1: Section Design
For this design, we need a background image and some spacing in the section. You can use your own image and adjust the spacing. Here is the setting we used-
In the content tab,
Go to the background option, select the background image, and keep all the settings default.
In the Design Tab,
Jump on to the spacing options and set padding as:
- Padding: Top 200px, Bottom 200px
That’s all for the section design; let’s move on to the row settings.
Step 2: Row Design
For this particular design, we need a single-column structure. So let’s click on the plus icon to insert a row with a single column.
No more customization is required for the row. So let’s move on to the next step.
Step 3: Modules Designs
In this particular design, we used 2 different divi modules with the Typing Text module inside the row. So at the top, we will be using a text module, then our main focusing part “Typing Text module” and then again a text module and a button.
Click the gray plus icon to insert a module from the module list. Then, you can either search or find the required module by scrolling.

In the Content Tab,
Under the content option,
We have 3 different content areas, and the typing text area is the one that will animate. By clicking on the copy icon, you can add as many as type text you want. Each new line of text will come one after another on a live site.
