Getting your visitors to pay attention and actually read your message is one of the most important but also one of the most difficult things to accomplish on your website.
The new TypeFocus feature will help you grab attention in a highly effective way.
Watch the video and check out the examples below to see TypeFocus in action.

The TypeFocus text animation gives you the impression that somebody is typing in real time on the website.
This will not only get the visitors to read your message, but it will also allow you to say more without cluttering your website.
The TypeFocus feature allows you to add a text animation on ANY text that you can edit with the Thrive Content Builder.
This means that you can use it in blog posts, on a homepage, sales page, squeeze page or any other landing page and even in your opt-in forms.
It's great for emphasizing a message as well:
Yes on ANY text including: Your Sales Pages
This TypeFocus feature is now at your disposal in the latest version of Thrive Content Builder and Thrive Leads.
Big companies such as ActiveCampaign are using this animation on the title of their homepage and now it’s your turn to test it on your website to boost your conversion rates!

I love this! Can’t wait to try it out.
Thank you, Walter!
I love getting your emails shane!
always something NEW..
That’s good to hear! We’ve got more updates like these coming in rapid succession, in the next few weeks. 🙂
This is sick! I will defiantly be using this is my next blog post!
Thanks, Preston! Would love to see how you put this into action.
I can’t bloody believe my eyes!!
Believe it! 🙂
It’s a sweet feature, right?
Another amazing feature in Thrive Themes. Thanks Shane…
You’re very welcome, Larry. Thanks for being a customer!
You are absolutely amazing Shane!
Thank you very much, Cartess! I can’t take credit for this one, though. It was created by our brilliant developers and Hanne made the video and post. I was just watching the show. 😉
does it display well in the mobile phone?
It works on any device, yes.
Wow – I haven’t seen this anywhere else! What an awesome feature. Great job guys 🙂
Thank you, Justin! Glad you like the new feature.
Hi Shane, I immediately liked the idea when I saw it. But on my mobile it’s driving me crazy. The whole post is jumping up and down constantly. Anything that I can do to prevent that from happening when using this technique? Thanks!
We’re already working on an improvement for that. Sit tight! 🙂
Yes, it jumps up and down on my computer too. Thanks for looking into this Shane. 8->
Guys… awesome 🙂
Thanks!
Hey this is awesome… however, what would be EVEN BETTER and more relevant would be to get your on-page(embedded) optin forms to submit in the background without redirecting, just give a success message. It really throws people off to be redirected after optin
Hello Jesse,
I’m not entirely sold on this idea. I have this written down as a feature idea, but I’m not sure if we’ll move ahead with it.
The thing is: redirecting someone after the opt-in is a big advantage, because it helps you direct the attention of your new subscriber. You can make sure they confirm their email address, you can communicate expectations clearly, you can use it for personal branding, you can redirect to an upsell…
Keep them on the same page and you’re just increasing chances that they’ll forget who you are by the time they see your next email and mark it as spam.
Man, you guys are introducing a lot of new features these days – well done. This is definitely worth a test.
Thank you, Ian! Yes, the Thrive development team has been hard at work, creating new features.
Awesome, I want to know how to do this long ago. Thanks
Thanks, Rodrigo!
Very cool. I like it a lot. But as this page demonstrates, moderation in use is probably a good idea. Having two lines of text changing themselves at the same time is hard on the brain.
Yes, I recommend using this for the main headline and only once per page. We added it more here, for demonstration purposes.
Wow, what a great way of catching attention and actually conveying even more information. Thanks for all the great new things that you are coming up.
Happy to know that you like this new feature, Gerhard! Thanks for your comment.
Thrive continues to lead the pack with continuous improvement and innovation. I’m surprised and thrilled to get so much value out of my subscription.
Thank you very much, Bill!
You are amazing ! You boost my business thanksto your soft ! Thank you tThank
That’s what we do. 🙂
You don’t imagine ! You boost my conversion by 800% !! I want to kiss you aha
Hey Hanne and Shane,
There is a need for a different style of webpage / landing page. How can I contact you best to get the idea to you and why I think it has value to invest time into it?
Thank you for everything,
Gerhard
Hi Gerhard, you can contact us here.
Awesome! Thank you for the constant improvements. I have never owned or seen a better supported product.
Thank you, Michael! That means a lot.
Going to have fun with this new feature! Thanks Hanne for the great demo and Shane for always bringing us cool innovations.
Thanks for your comment, Tina!
Great!
I was looking to do this with GIF animations… 🙂
Yeah, this is much easier to do. Plus, GIFs take up a lot of data quickly, while this is nice and lean.
Blimey! 3 hours ago I was trying to animate some text and discovered I couldn’t do it. I thought “That’s a feature I think I’ll suggest in the Thrive forums”… then 15mins ago I checked my email and got sent here… how’s THAT for fast service 😉 Love how you guys just keep adding to the awesomeness 😀
Nothing a bit of time travel can’t fix, Joel. 😉
Great presentation Hanna, I will try this FOR SURE (in moderation of course), I would like to know HOW to place this in an email LIKE YOU did ? Is it a gif?
Hi Scott,
In the email, we just used a GIF image, yes.
Thanks for this new feature, guys. It looks great!
Glad you like it, Lee!
Awesome work as usual – thank you!
Thanks, Matthew! Glad you like the new feature. 🙂
Great addition – thanks! Is it available in the short codes in WP editor or only on pages built entirely with Content Builder?
Hi Dennis,
This is only available for text you edit with our Content Builder.
Totally awesome! I can reallyl use this right away! I love Thrive Themes and your no hype approach to marketing, just real world grounded tools.
Thank you, Shane and your team!
Thank you for your comment, Paul!
Amazing new feature! Some points to consider:
1) does it support responsive design (smartphone, tablet, etc.)?
2) how is the effect on SEO headlines (h1-tag) etc.?
3) which minimal technical setup is needed to show it to visitors of the website? (browser-setup)
Hello Jonathan,
1) Yes, it’s fully responsive.
2) The text you have in a TypeFocus animation is invisible to a search engine.
3) I don’t know, but it’s safe to assume that practically all of your visitors will see it.
Nice but how do you UNDO it if you want to fix it. I saved it and now it needs some help as I did it incorrectly.
Hi Anthony,
You can clear the TypeFocus effect with the click of a button. It shows in the options panel in TCB.
regarding SEO effect: you say, the text is invisible to search engines. Is this true for both, the variations and for the initial text?
Shane, can this be programmed to happen only once?
And can it be set to trigger only when it’s in the viewport?
And can it be set to trigger only if the page has not scrolled for x seconds?
(This is an amazing feature, but could quickly turn into the ‘blink’ tag from days of yore.)
No, no and no. Although we’re working on the second one. I think you’re probably overthinking this. 🙂
I want to add that being able to turn off the loop feature turns this from annoying to regular readers to actually really cool. Tx.
I second that.
This is indeed a very interesting effect, however, I might need some time to figure out how to put it to good use and really make it work to direct the reader’s attention and not overload it. I think that repeating the effect in a loop is distracting on a post or a page with a lot of text. The option to animate it ONCE, however, would make it more similar to the animated counters effect (which is great).
Definitely worth experimenting with. Thank you!
I agree Tom, would like to have the possibility to stop the loop.
Can easy be annoying with “blinking” texts.
You guys are awesome. So glad to have purchased your sofware.
Thank you very much!
Dude, Awesome feature
I know, right? 🙂
Also it would be great if it had a mode where it didn’t type at all, but simply highlighted a phrase once the phrase was in the viewport for x tenths of a second.
Crazy Awesome!! .. don’t know how else to describe it. Thanks Shane & the team at Thrive Themes. Cheers!
Thank you, Keith! Glad you like this new addition. 🙂
This isn’t showing up on my site to use? The plugin is up to date as far as I can see…
Hello Hazel,
If you can’t access the feature, please post it in the support forum, with your site details. Our guys will get you set up in no time.
Thrive is by far the best investment I’ve made in a software product.
That’s high praise! Thank you very much, Alex.
Holy crud wow. Simple, brilliant.
Haha, thank you, Rob!
Way cool! Love this!
Thanks, Kelly!
Really Really Cool 😀 i hope you guys just enhance the progress bars functionality! Thanks for the awesome tools
Thanks, Diogo.
The data elements do have some improvements coming down the line, but it’s not a high priority task compared to some of the other goodies we’re working on.
Very cool new feature!
Thank you, Mike!
First of all I love it, But I have updated my content builder plugin to version : 1.101.13 and i don’t have the TypeFocus feature … did I miss something?
Hello Ehud,
Please post about this issue in the support forum, with your site details. Our guys will get you set up in no time.
Do you read our minds? your updates sound like a genie is fulfilling wishes. Great update. Thank you.
Haha, thank you very much, Sumit!
how can we change the color of the type focused font?
Its just turns dark gray everytime..
Hello Hafiz,
To change the color, select the text and apply the color you want first. Then activate TypeFocus and all variations will be shown in the custom color you set before.
Wow… thanks Shane. It’s inspiring to me to see your constant improvements.
Thank you, Tomas!
Hey Shane! That’s awesome! More and more it becomes kind of an «unfair advantage» to have Thrive Themes … 🙂
Thank you, Christoph. That’s the idea, yes. We want to make sure that you have an edge over your competitors by using Thrive products.
