Fancy Text
Add life to your content using Fancy Text. It comes very handy in the festive seasons. Add a playful vibe to your content without having to compromise its formal look.
You can divide a sentence into three parts- Prefix, Strings and Suffix. You can add a viewpoint animation to the string part only. But here is the fun part, you can add Multiple Strings. You also get a dozen more customization options for the string part. Start from choosing a font family, move onto setting the font and background color. Then apply the more advanced customization options to put life into the simplest of sentences.
Dual color Headline
Emphasize on a single word in a sentence by highlighting it with a different color. Dual color Headline lets you do exactly that. Pick colors in the right contrast. And sure enough, you will invoke certain emotions into your site-visitors.
The EA Dual Color Headline element lets you create amazing layouts for your Header as well as use two different colors for it. The first thing you would want to do from the Content Settings is set the layout for the Dual Color Headline. The element holds a Title, Sub-Text, and an Icon. From the Content Style option, you can pick a certain arrangement for the three elements. Divide your title into two parts and edit them according to your requirements. You can pick a separate color for your sub-text as well. Finish it off by adding a relevant icon.
Call to Action
You can set a button at any place of your website with a certain task assigned to it. For example, you can ask your visitors to buy your premium product using this element. To do so, set a suitable title, some text and assign a task to the button. If you are thinking about assigning a task to a button must be difficult, you are wrong. You can simply add a link to the button. Once clicked, the current page will redirect to the attached link where your customers can make their purchase.
Call to Action is very helpful as it eliminates the tricky part in the buying process. Your customers can directly jump into the payment checkout page directly from a blog, rather than spending time searching where they can make their purchase.

Gradient has somewhat become a trend in Web-Design. One of the most popular users of Gradient is Instagram.

With Elementor you can add the Gradient Effect all by yourself and without any coding. Now you might be wondering how you can do that? In short, the Gradient Effect does not come as a separate Element in Elementor, rather it comes as a Styling Option for Sections, Columns and Elements.
