How do I add a slideshow of photos to my website?



User: Paul-RAGESW 2 days ago
EverWeb has four ways to show photos one after another:

Image Slider: one photo at a time that plays by itself, and each photo can link to a page.
Carousel: slides that mix photos, text, buttons or video, made for Responsive pages.
Slide Show Fill: photos that change behind your text or inside any box. Select a TextBox, shape, image or Container, go to Inspector > Shape Options and set Fill to Slide Show.
Gallery: a grid of thumbnails; clicking one opens a large slideshow. Use the Responsive Image Gallery (up to 200 photos) on Responsive pages, or the Image Gallery (up to 99) on Centered Layout pages.

To add an Image Slider:
1. Click the Widgets tab and drag Image Slider onto the page.
2. To run it edge to edge, tick Full width in Inspector > Metrics.
3. In Inspector > Widget Settings, add your photos with Choose... and give each one a Caption and ALT Text.
4. Set Slideshow Speed: in thousandths of a second (4000 is 4 seconds), and untick Show thumbnails for a clean banner.

Tip: make all your photos the same size, for example 1600 x 900 pixels, and keep each one under 500KB. Photos of different shapes leave white gaps, and large ones load slowly on phones.

Add a slideshow to your website: Image Slider, Carousel, Slide Show Fill or a gallery
