Seven feature areas, one install package for Joomla 4, 5 and 6.

Living Headlines

Headlines That Type Themselves

Rotate phrases in hero lines, promos and service lists so your message feels alive. Drop a shortcode where the copy matters most.

Your Phrases

Phrases Your Way

Add as many phrases as you like for a smooth type-and-erase loop. Each block keeps its own set.

Your Pace

Pace You Control

Set typing, erasing and pause speeds, calm for brand lines and snappy for promos. Use site-wide defaults and tweak any block.

Custom Cursor

A Cursor That Matches Your Theme

Pick cursor color and thickness so it looks designed for your site. Keep the classic blink or hold it steady.

Paste and Go

Works Anywhere You Have Content

Drop the shortcode wherever your content lives. Ready-made examples make reuse a one-click job.

Polite Motion

Starts When Visitors Can See It

Begin typing only when the text scrolls into view. Visitors who prefer less motion get a calmer experience automatically.

FAQ

Questions about Typewriter

Still unsure? Our support team is one ticket away.

What is Typewriter used for?

Typewriter animates rotating phrases in headlines and CTAs using a simple shortcode — ideal for hero lines, offers, and service lists.

Which Joomla versions are supported?

Typewriter 1.3 supports Joomla 4, Joomla 5, and Joomla 6.

PHP 8.1 or newer is recommended.

Does Typewriter 1.3 require jQuery?

No. Version 1.3 uses vanilla JavaScript.

Where can I place the shortcode?

Anywhere in site HTML — articles, custom HTML modules, and most content areas. The plugin processes the rendered page.
