What it does
Many sites need a clean way to rotate through photos, projects or promotional banners, and building a slider by hand takes time. This plugin adds two elements to WPBakery Page Builder: Slide and Slideset. You place them on a page like any other builder element, add your images and adjust the settings panel to control how the slider behaves and looks. It works well for portfolios, product highlights, testimonials and recent work.
Sliders are responsive and retina ready, so images stay sharp on desktops, tablets and phones. Visitors can move between slides with touch, swipe or mouse drag, and transitions use hardware accelerated animations. Each slide can hold custom content and descriptive text, which helps when an image needs a caption or a short message. Color and font options let you bring the slider in line with your brand, and it is built to work with WPBakery Page Builder.
Best for
- Sites built with WPBakery Page Builder
- Photographers and designers displaying portfolio work
- Businesses promoting products or rotating banners
