Key Settings to Configure

Slide Content

Background Images: High-quality, visually striking images that support your message

• When to use: Images should be at least 1920px wide for crisp display on all devices
• Pro tip: Ensure text remains readable over your images by using overlay effects or choosing images with clear text areas

Animation Settings

Auto Rotate: Automatically advance through slides without user interaction

• Best practice: Enable for promotional content, disable if slides contain important information that needs reading time
• Timing: 6-8 seconds per slide gives visitors enough time to read and react

Slide Transitions

Animate Slides: Smooth transitions between slides with visual effects

• When to use: Creates professional, polished presentation
• Consider: Disable if you prefer instant transitions or have performance concerns

Pro Tips for Success

Best Practices

• Keep slide count to 3-5 slides maximum - too many can overwhelm visitors
• Use consistent button text like "Shop Now" or "Learn More" across slides
• Ensure strong contrast between text and background images for readability
• Make your first slide the most important - many visitors won't see beyond it
• Use high-quality images that align with your brand aesthetic

Common Mistakes

• Don't use too many slides - visitors often only see the first one
• Avoid auto-rotating too quickly - visitors need time to read and click
• Don't use low-resolution images - they'll look blurry on high-resolution screens
• Avoid putting critical information only in later slides
• Don't make text too small - mobile visitors need to read it easily
