Does CC have a responsive slideshow generator? (I don't think I saw one.)

What are other very good slideshow generators and are they responsive or not? Why do you like them?

Did you know that Web Form Builder can be used for both simple and complicated forms and that it's not limited to the default fonts and buttons? Take a look at a form we developed for WindowTinting.com.

Hi Brian,

CC doesn't have a responsive slideshow generator. In fact we were just talking about that this morning and we all wish they did. Who knows maybe it will be coming out with their big line-up of responsive software.

I use two different slideshow creators myself. One is called WOW Slider and the other is called Visual Lightbox.

They are not responsive so to speak, but they do scale very nicely. If you go here you can see a responsive website I am working on which has one of each of these kind of galleries.

As soon as CC comes out with one I will likely be switching to that.

Yes, that scales well. Is that because they are png images or what?

Yes all the images I use are png format if they are not I will convert them. They seem to work the best for websites. The software itself is very easy to use and if you pay for the upgrades you get a large amount of templates included.

I prefer them both actually. I use the wow slider "Seen at the top of my website" for more of a sliding gallery show" Works well as a kind of banner across web pages.

I use the Visual Lightbox "Seen in the footer of my site" for a gallery of images that a user can select individually. The ones I have on this page are very small but if you go here

you can see it applied in a larger scale.

So it is just a matter of preference of my clients that guide my decisions.

Wow slider is a good one. But if you mean between the two of them, one is thumbnail based so if your site requires thumbnails then that is the best way to go. I do prefer sliders personally but it's down to you

Yeah your right Steve, some sites lend themselves to one or the other, depending on what they are really. It's not good having a slider if your trying to sell photographs that are in smaller format

Hey Steve, I just noticed on your web site there, if you hover over an option under 'Other Services' your bottom footer jumps around because the menu extends a little. Is that a 'glitch' or just my old eyes? :rolleyes:
