10 Cool Pure CSS Scrolling Text Animations

Original Source: https://1stwebdesigner.com/10-cool-pure-css-scrolling-text-animations/

Scrolling text on a website is almost as old as the internet. You may remember the days when marquees with horizontal scrolling text were all the rage, and we (some of us) thought it was one of the coolest things we’d seen on a website. Many years later we have left that, along with a collection of other relatively silly “web tricks”, behind, as technology and web development evolved into what we have to work with today. Now we no longer need Flash or some other bulky, clunky tools or code to make this happen.

In this post, we’ll show you a collection of scrolling text animations that are coded with only CSS – no JavaScript or anything else needed! Let’s take a look at some of the different ways this fun effect can be accomplished.
