Ultimate Guide: Creating Text Marquees

Text marquees are a classic web design element used to display scrolling information, news tickers, or attention-grabbing announcements. While the <marquee> tag is deprecated, modern CSS animations allow for smooth, accessible, and performant scrolling text.

Best Practices

  • Accessibility: Ensure users can pause the animation (e.g., on hover) so they have time to read.
  • Performance: Use CSS Transforms (translate3d) instead of changing left/top values for smoother 60fps animations.
  • Readability: Keep the scrolling speed moderate. Too fast is unreadable; too slow is boring.

Modern Implementation

Our tool generates pure CSS solutions using @keyframes. This ensures compatibility with all modern browsers without relying on deprecated HTML tags or heavy JavaScript libraries.

SEO Note

Search engines can read text inside CSS marquees just fine. However, ensure the content is relevant to your page. Avoid hiding crucial content in fast-moving marquees, as some users might miss it.
