Key Settings to Configure ​

Display Mode ​

Slider vs Marquee: Choose how your content moves through the carousel

  • Slider: Traditional carousel with navigation arrows and dots - better for focused viewing
  • Marquee: Continuous scrolling effect - great for creating dynamic, modern movement

Content Layout ​

Aspect Ratio: Controls the shape and proportions of your slide content

  • 16:9: Great for landscape images and video content
  • 1:1 (Square): Perfect for Instagram-style content or product photos
  • 3:4 (Portrait): Ideal for mobile-friendly content or tall product shots

Slider Controls ​

Navigation Options: Choose how visitors interact with your carousel

  • Navigation Arrows: Allow manual control through slides
  • Pagination Dots: Show progress and allow jumping to specific slides
  • Autoplay: Automatically advance slides at set intervals

Pro Tips for Success ​

Best Practices

  • Mix content types (images, testimonials, videos) for engaging variety
  • Keep slide count reasonable - 6-8 slides work well for most purposes
  • Use consistent aspect ratios for all slides to maintain clean presentation
  • Test autoplay timing - 5-7 seconds usually works best for reading content
  • Consider marquee mode for brand logos, press mentions, or social proof

Common Mistakes

  • Don't use too many slides - it can overwhelm visitors and reduce engagement
  • Avoid mixing drastically different aspect ratios in the same slider
  • Don't set autoplay too fast - visitors need time to read testimonials or view images
  • Don't forget to add navigation if you disable autoplay
