Requirements

Edit the page with Elementor.
In the widget panel, search for Post Excerpt. Our widgets sit in the Moduly category and carry the Moduly badge.
Drag it onto the page.
Set it up in the Content tab, style it in the Style tab, and use Advanced for spacing, motion and visibility.

Style tab: design controls for Excerpt or Read More — colours, typography, spacing, borders and hover states.

Start with the Style choice — it changes the overall look the most; fine-tune the rest afterwards.
Visitors who ask their device for reduced motion get a calmer, still version automatically.
