do you know what a slider is?

you might have seen in some websites a power point presentation like slides moving or fading . A slider widget in wordpress site can easily do that effect. You have to create some slides and have to adjust them for the slider. A website with slider looks very professional. There are many themes which have inbuilt slider(meta slider) which may help you to build a slider. Even with help of some wordpress plugin you can build a slider. If you want to integrate  meta  slider in your theme read this external article

Before building the slider  do check the following-

1. you need the site builder plugin and site builder widget bundle.
2. check whether your theme supports slider or not – themes like ultra,themegrill (both are free) which supports slider.

Keep in mind that here slider is the new complete slideshow having slides. Slides are those single image that you want to add. You can check this slider created  for one of my site.

You can create a great look for your business website using  page builder plugin. you can adjust width, can add a caption,animation speed etc. SiteOrigin plugin comes with some in built widgets ,but for using slider widget you have to install siteorigin widget bundle.

site builder widgets bundle includes-

1. customizable button  widget
2. widget for text editor
3. widget for website features with icons
4. widget for showing google map

step 3. Now add a slider and add a frame. In that frame you can add slides. You can point your visitor to a landing page or external url if someone clicks the slides. Or you can add captions for the slides. The most important thing i liked about the sitebuilder plugin is that you can revert to normal editor without losing any content.

slide and slider are different keep in mind

if your slider is not responding check whether your theme is supports slider, images are not more  than 2 MB of size,  whether your slider messed with sidebar or any advertisement.
