Indiegogo allows you to use html to edit the page layout. If you're transitioning from Kickstarter, you'll find that there's much more flexibility to the appearance of the page. One thing that's difficult to add is animated .gifs.
1. The Gifs must be hosted somewhere else. You can host these on your website, a public cloud storage folder, or photo site. The file must have a publicly accessible url (EXAMPLE: https://static.wixstatic.com/media/1bd2e6_0e4a13930b8f4332ab7935776b80d35d~mv2.gif )
2. The links to the gifs must be added using the HTML view, and it's not formatted very nicely. The easiest way to add them is to copy and paste the following HTML at the top of the HTML editor view
<img src="INSERT-GIF-URL-HERE" />
3. Then revert to the WYSIWYG view, highlight the gif, CUT it, scroll and place the cursor where you want the gif, and PASTE.
When you need to Visualize Code for HTML, CSS, and sometimes even JavaScript, an online HTML viewer and editor provides an immediate solution. These tools are perfect for students learning web development, as they offer a simple environment to experiment with code and see the results instantly. They're also useful for experienced developers who need to quickly test a small piece of code or inspect the output of generated HTML without setting up a local server. The live preview feature is particularly beneficial for rapid iteration and understanding.
