Slide Settings
Each slide can include:
- Image: Slide image. Use images with similar dimensions across slides to avoid awkward cropping.
- Heading: Slide heading. Keep it short so it remains readable over imagery.
- Heading tag: Sets the heading level. Use H1 only when the slider is the main page hero.
- Text: Supporting rich text. Use a short sentence rather than a long paragraph.
- Button label: Optional button text, such as
Shop now,Learn more, orView project. - Button link: Optional destination for the button.
- Content alignment: Aligns slide content left, center, or right. Choose an alignment that avoids busy parts of the image.
- Overlay opacity: Adds a dark overlay to improve text readability. Increase it when text is hard to read; reduce it when the image becomes too dark.
Section Settings
- Color scheme: Sets fallback colors and section context.
- Accessibility label: Describes the slider for assistive technology. Example:
Homepage image sliderorFeatured projects slider. - Full width: Makes the slider span the full section width. Use this for hero-style sliders.
- Show arrows: Displays previous and next controls so customers can move through slides manually.
- Show dots: Displays pagination dots so customers can see how many slides are available.
- Autoplay: Automatically advances slides. Use carefully; manual controls are often better for content-heavy slides.
- Autoplay speed: Time between slide changes when autoplay is enabled.
- Transition effect: Controls the animation between slides. Slide is the safest general option; more dramatic effects work best for visual campaigns.
- Transition speed: Controls how quickly the transition animation completes.
- Desktop height: Controls slider height on desktop.
- Mobile height: Controls slider height on mobile.
Spacing is controlled using the shared padding settings. See Section Spacing and Padding.
Tips
- Use overlay opacity when slide text is hard to read.
- Keep slide text short.
- Avoid autoplay if slides contain long text that customers need time to read.
