Creating a Slider/Carousel Like the Gunnagri Home Page

At a glance

The community member is looking for a slider/carousel component similar to the one used on the home page of the website https://gunnagri.com/?page_id=15. The comments suggest that there are no readily available sliders with text overlays, and the closest option would be Gallery 13. However, the community members express concerns about the issues with sliders, such as layout problems, mobile compatibility, and poor user experience and conversion rates. They generally advise against using auto-sliders as a hero section.

Yeah we dont have any sliders with text over them oddly enough - closest one to your example would be Gallery 13 IMO. Probably take you 5-10 mins to add in the text content.

I don't know if you noticed, Blair, but the layout isn't full-width. Sliders have weird issues, too, in code elements. Shopify seems to do them kind of well, but even then, they have many issues on mobile.

If you can, try not to use an auto slider as a hero. It creates a mountain of issues.

shoot, I try to avoid sliders anywhere!

the UX stats and conversion stats are staggering on them anyway - in a negative way - there's almost no benefit at all to them besides appeasing clients who want "more content"

Exactly
