Hi folks, a long time RapidWeaver 4, 5, 8, and 9 user here. It is time to migrate my [daveesquer.com](http://daveesquer.com) website to Elements 2.0 and I need help!

I purchased Gallery Pro for my starting point. In RapidWeaver 8/9, I used stacks (v5?) and the Photo Pro Group to do the gallery and sub-gallery effect I was after. I used the Aspen theme from RapidWeaver as my baseline ‘look’.

I would like to mimic the Aspen Theme ‘Animated Site Title’ effect for my home page but don’t have a clue as to where to start. Is there a resource/theme/template/plugin/ that can achieve that look? Is it built-in to Elements already?

I am clueless and befuddled as to where to start, but I gotta’ migrate!

Thanks,

Dave Esquer

@MultiThemes made a spiritual successor to the Aspen theme, you can find it here [Ascent for Elements](https://www.multithemes.com/elements/ascent/), although perhaps wait until it’s added to the Elements in-app Store?

Thanks SteveW. I appreciate your video, food for thought with that ‘reveal’ approach!
