Marquee text vs announcement bars on Wix

Marquee text and announcement bars both draw attention to important messages. The difference is motion and emphasis.

Use marquee text when

• The brand can support motion.
• The message is short.
• You want a dynamic campaign feel.
• The content is promotional or timely.

Use a static announcement bar when

• The message is important and must be easy to read.
• Accessibility is a concern.
• The brand needs a calmer style.
• The message is long.

Decision rule

Use motion for energy. Use static bars for clarity.

Best practice

If the message is legally, operationally, or safety critical, do not rely only on moving text.
