The way you design your page’s hero section sets the expectations for the rest of your page. If you’re designing a landing page that celebrates something, whether it is an anniversary or a sale, it can definitely help to bring the festive mood into your design. One way to approach it is by adding a colorful spatter animation to your hero section’s background. The focus will still remain on the written copy and CTA you provide. In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to create a beautiful colorful spatter animation section with Divi’s built-in settings. You’ll be able to download the JSON file for free as well!
