How to add Lottie Player to a ChurchDev church website

Embed Lottie Player on ChurchDev

01

Create a Lottie Player widget for ChurchDev on Common Ninja

First, create a ChurchDev Lottie Player widget on Common Ninja. On the widgets catalog, find the Lottie Player and enter the Editor.

02

Save the Lottie Player widget

When you're done creating the Lottie Player widget, click on the Save Changes button at the right top corner of the editor. If you don't have an account on Common Ninja, you'll have to register first.

03

Copy the Lottie Player Embed Code

When you're ready to add the Lottie Player widget to your ChurchDev church website, click the Add To Website button at the top bar of the Editor. On the window that opens, click the Copy Icon to copy the widget embed code. In the next steps, you will paste this code into your ChurchDev church website.

04

Paste the code to your ChurchDev website’s HTML field.

Next, go to your ChurchDev church website editor and find the HTML field. It is most likely in the form of an HTML/Code widget or module which you can find on the ChurchDev’s editor. Add it to your page, and paste the Lottie Player Embed Code you’ve copied before to the HTML field. Save and update, and that’s it, you should have Common Ninja’s Lottie Player widget on your ChurchDev church website.

05

Alternative Method 1: Through the HTML option in the text’s editing area.

If you can't find the HTML/Code widget or module, there's another way to put Common Ninja’s Lottie Player widget on your ChurchDev widget. You can just add the code to a special HTML section in the text editor.

06

Alternative Method 2: Add it directly to your ChurchDev church website’s HTML code.

If you're having trouble finding a widget or a special part in your text editor where you can add the Embed Code, you can try a different way to add the Lottie Player widget to your ChurchDev church website. You can do this by putting it straight into your ChurchDev church website's HTML code.

Why Use This Widget

Use the Lottie Player widget when you want high quality animations on your site without slowing it down. Lottie files are lightweight, scalable, and crisp on all devices, making them ideal for micro interactions, illustrated scenes, and animated icons. This widget lets you embed and control those animations with options for looping, triggering, and styling. It is perfect for breathing life into hero sections, onboarding flows, loading states, or success messages. Engaging motion can draw attention to important elements and explain ideas more intuitively than static images. At the same time, the efficient format keeps performance strong, which is important for both user experience and search visibility.
