Gradients, the transition from one color to another or others, are an easy way to add interest to your website. Avada features a very simple two-color gradient feature that is easy to use and can create a lot of interesting effects. I put together a collection of examples.
Avada documentation is limited on the various options so if you have a question leave a comment.
Background gradient options
The gradient settings are pretty simplistic and do not have responsive settings. When used with an image background, you do not need to set a blend mode on the image, just use color opacity level.
- Set you start color. Can be solid or use transparency.
- Set you end color. Can be solid or use transparency.
- Set the start position. This is based on the gradient angle but is typically the top by default. This adjust the level and position of the the transition. If start and stop are set to add up to 100 (e.g., 50/50,55/45, etc.) there will be no transition and you will have a clean line.
- Set the end position. This is based on the gradient angle but is typically the bottom by default. This adjust the level and position of the the transition.
- Gradient type. This allows you to choose wheter the gradient is linear — point a to point b — or radiates from the center.
- Gradient angle allows you to rotatate the linear gradient around a circle (360 degrees) — from top to bottom, to left to-right, or corner to corner.
