PRO TIP: Please be aware that the website builder Wix does not currently offer a built-in feature for creating scrolling text. However, there are a few workarounds that you can use to add this functionality to your site. One option is to embed a widget from another site that offers scrolling text. Another option is to add an animated image to your site that simulates scrolling text. Keep in mind that these workarounds may not be compatible with all browsers and devices, and they may not offer the same level of customization as a dedicated scrolling text feature would.
