An about-us statement fills in word by word, from faint to full ink, as it scrolls up the screen.
Use it for: Restaurants, salons, bakeries, family businesses with a real founding story; premium remodelers. When: One short, true statement (2-3 sentences) in big type: the founder's line, the promise. Don't: Body copy, long paragraphs, more than once per page, anything people must read to act (prices, hours). How: SplitText splits words (aria untouched, plain spans); ScrollTrigger scrubs their opacity between 85% and 55% of the screen. No pinning: the page scrolls normally. Weight: 1.1 KB gzipped (our CSS + JS) + GSAP from jsDelivr: GSAP core 28.3 + ScrollTrigger 18 + SplitText 3.7 KB gzipped (shared by every effect on the page). Plugins: ScrollTrigger, SplitText.
