Image Slider
The ideal component to grab users' attention.
What is Image Slider
Our component is an effective way of communicating important information through visual elements.
The slider allows several images to be displayed in sequence, and has strengths such as being able to automatically rotate images and adjust the height of the web part according to the image and the space available.
It can be used to highlight corporate initiatives, or to bring together the company's values in one place, and you can insert both graphics and photos in it, therefore it is fully customizable!
