Tips​

  • Use short titles - Titles should be easy to read and not too long
  • Make sure the image quality is good - Avoid images that are blurry or broken when displayed
  • Optimal image size - Use a resolution appropriate for website performance (usually 1920x600px or 16:10 ratio)
  • Order of importance - The first slider is the one that visitors see the most
  • Design consistency - Use a consistent design style for all sliders
  • Periodic updates - Change the slider regularly so that the website looks fresh

  • Try re-uploading the image
