Carousels (slideshows)

Filed under: Carousels (slideshows), Web Design — Baytech Web Design @ 3:41 pm

One more feature that is rapidly becoming more popular in Web design is the arrival of carousels. These may be one of the more practical innovations out of all of them because they actually can make Website Navigation a little easier.

Carousels provide the visitor with slideshow presentations. Each slide provides a picture of the Webpage or of a special feature on it – such as an individual or story.

The carousel slides can rotate either as if they were in a circle, with the nearest one being the largest and usually in the center. Another style simply has a few slides horizontally aligned, and arrows on the right or left of them enables the viewer to see more pictures.

This ease of navigation provides the user with the opportunity to need to do less mouse clicks or scrolling to see what is on the page. Clicking on the slides will take them to the desired page.

An advantage of the carousel for navigation is that it focuses the user’s eyes on the content and makes it easy to see what is there. Pictures are worth more than a thousand words, and they enable them to scan for what they want quickly. It makes the Website design very practical and keeps it simple, too, for the user.

  1. I have to wonder how visitors respond to it. Are visitors really using it to look over the Website, or are they just looking at the pictures? I’d like to see some statistics.

  2. I’ve seen the carousel on some Websites. Some styles are better than others. I like the one that moves with just a mouse over.

  3. Carousels provide a quick overall view of what can be found on the Website. Because they are mostly pictures with just a title, viewers can see real fast what they are looking for. It saves time because they do not need to wait for Webpages to load. Baytech Web Design can help you put carousels on your Webpages with a quality Web design that is sure to get your visitors attention. Talk to us about it today.
