Parametric Marquee is a WordPress plugin that creates smooth scrolling ticker ribbons for announcements, flash sales, breaking news, or key highlights. It is offered through the official WordPress plugin directory as a lightweight solution for adding such ribbons anywhere on a site.
The plugin supports unlimited marquee text items, each with custom links. It includes a built-in Font Awesome icon selector for each item, drag-and-drop reordering, and controls for scroll speed, direction (left or right), gap, and font size. Additional capabilities include pause-on-hover functionality, color selection that integrates with Astra Theme global colors or uses custom hex values, and placement options that automatically display the ribbon below the header or allow manual insertion via shortcode.
It is delivered as a standard WordPress plugin. Installation involves uploading the plugin folder to the wp-content/plugins directory or using the WordPress plugins screen, followed by activation. The plugin is provided at no cost through the WordPress.org directory.
In the Design & Creative space, Parametric Marquee takes a focused approach. It focuses on displaying eye-catching, continuously scrolling announcements, news, or promotions on a WordPress website without complex coding. It is built as a B2B product for wordPress site owners and marketers. Parametric Marquee follows a freemium model. It runs on the web, and it can be self-hosted.
Behind Parametric Marquee is Support Informatics, and it first shipped in 2026. Key capabilities include Scrolling Marquee, drag and Drop Reordering, and Font Awesome Icons.
