Slideshows
The Slideshow is usually the first thing customers see on your homepage. It's perfect for announcing sales, new arrivals, or telling your brand story.
Which Slideshow Should I Use?
Synergify offers three versions of the slideshow to fit different needs:
- Slideshow (Standard): Best for simple, clean image sliders.
- Slideshow Pro: Adds more animation and mobile-specific settings.
- Slideshow Pro Ultimate: The most powerful version with video backgrounds, countdowns, and advanced animations.
How to Set Up a Slideshow
1. Add the Section
- In the Theme Editor, click Add section.
- Search for Slideshow (or Pro/Ultimate).
- Click to add it to your page.
2. Add Slides (Images/Videos)
- Click on the Slideshow section you just added to open its settings.
- Under the section, you will see "blocks" like Image Slide. Click on one.
- Select Image: Upload your desktop image.
- Mobile Image (Important): Upload a separate vertical image for mobile users so it doesn't look cropped.
3. Customize Text & Buttons
- Inside the slide block settings, find the Heading and Subheading fields.
- Enter your text (e.g., "Summer Sale").
- Button Label: Enter text like "Shop Now".
- Button Link: Link it to a Collection or Product.
4. Advanced Settings (Pro Ultimate)
If you are using the Ultimate version, you can:
- Add Video: Paste a video link for a dynamic background.
- Animations: Choose how text appears (Fade Up, Zoom In).
- Countdown: Enable a countdown timer for limited-time offers directly on the slide.
Best Practices
- Don't use too many slides: 3-5 slides are usually enough. Too many can slow down your site.
- Use high-quality images: But make sure they are optimized (under 500KB is best) to keep your site fast.
- Always check mobile: Switch to the mobile view in the editor to ensure text is readable.
