Areason its essential to carefully plan out your slideshow element and follow these six best practices 1. Enable automatic and manual transitions. As I mentioned web slideshows can rotate through their content automatically based on a time or manually when a user clicks an arrow button or swipes the screen. We recommend your slider allows for both methods. On page load the slider transitions automatically providing enough time for the user to take in each image. If a user wants to change slides themselves they can do this too which might deactivate the timed transitions. This over the content they want to view. Also this is how most web sliders are implemented so its intuitive.
Visitors To aid users place your arrow buttons on both sides of the element left and right side or top and bottom. These buttons can be visible within the element by Digital Marketing Service default or appear when a user hovers over the slideshow. That style choice is up to you. 2. Visually indicate the number of slides. Its a good idea to signal how many total slides there are in your slider so users know how much content is left to view. You can do this with thumbnails that appear on hoverover numbers e.g. 15 25 or another subtle visual cue like in the Microsoft example above. 3. Optimize for page performance.
If your page takes more than a few seconds to load visitors will start losing interest. Many wont even see the full slider you worked so hard on. First think about the number of images in your slideshow. The more slides the longer the load time so only include the slides you need. Save the rest of your content for later on the page. Then optimize your slider images by reducing the file size for each image as much as possible. Finally many slideshow builders will implement lazy loading. Only the current slide will load first and hidden slides.
