	Add an image slider to your web site! What is an Image Slider and why do I want one?

An Image Slider is a clever way to showcase examples of your services and products, or to give potential customers a little eye candy. The slider consists of a series of images which rotate in a slideshow. The Image Slider can use sixteen different transition effects to switch to the next image. These transitions can be customized to use all, any or just one of the transition effects. An added bonus to the use of Image Sliders is that they are much more cost effective than a Flash presentation.

Once the Image Slider is installed on your site, visitors can watch as the images rotate. If the visitor wants to control the rate or navigate through the images manually, there are two different ways to do that. Placing the cursor over the Slider will display left and right arrows. These arrows can be clicked to move forward to the next image or back to the previous image. The slider will pause as long as the cursor is over the slider. The other method of navigation uses small buttons below the Slider images; each image has its own button associated with it. Clicking on the image button loads the corresponding image. These buttons are highlighted to show which image is currently being displayed.

Image Sliders can be customized in many ways to match your site:

Forward and back buttons
Image size
Transition effect style
Links to other web pages
Image display time

Image buttons
Image captions with or without links
Transition effect speed
Start with random image
and much more...
