Getting Started: What Tools Do You Need to Create an Elementor Image Slider?

An eye-catching slider with high res, appealing images is one of the most important attributes of the modern website. Some of the WordPress themes already come with the slider located right on the top of the page, whereas the others don’t have it at all. If you’ve happened to purchase one lacking a slider or just want to place it somewhere else that is not on top, you will need Elementor Page Builder.

This is the world’s leading content editor specifically developed for WordPress. It features a drag-and-drop functionality which allows managing the look of the page without touching a single line of code. All you have to do is just shift the elements within the layout until you like the way the page looks. This is what makes this page builder popular among novices, professionals, and even non-techies. The other beneficial features include:

• 300+ custom-made templates suitable for every industry and need
• 90+ widgets to create any type of content from buttons to forms, etc.
• Editing in mobile view to adjust every element and make it adapt to any device
• PRO features like WooCommerce, Theme, and Popup builder
• Integration with popular marketing tools to generate more traffic and leads
• Seamless work with almost any WordPress theme and plugin
• Support for RTL as well as compatibility with WPML and Polylang plugins

But still, Elementor Page Builder is not the only tool you need to add an image slider to the website. Additionally, you will need the JetElements plugin specifically created for Elementor. It comes set with multiple elements meant to help create any type of content with ease. Among other top-notch widgets like the newly-added Horizontal Timeline, Contact Form 7, and WooCommerce, you will find Image Slider that allows creating responsive and eye-catching slides and adding them to the website.

Now that you know what tools and plugins you need for adding an image slider to a website, it’s high time to move on further to an actual step-by-step guide.

Step-by-Step Guide on How to Add an Image Slider to Your Site with Elementor

Don’t worry if you have no coding skills — working with Elementor Page Builder is as easy as 1-2-3, especially if you have detailed instructions. Besides, it doesn’t require you to get “under the hood” and touch the code. So, to start creating an image slider and adding it to a website, head over to Elementor Editor and follow the instructions.

1. Open the editor, find JetElements plugin and Slider widget.
   
2. Drag and drop the widget into a previously created new section. If you do everything right, the dashed frame will turn blue like shown below.
   
3. Once done, you’ll be redirected to the “Content” menu where you can customize the tabs and apply different types of content to the slide. While you’re in this menu, click on the “Items” tab and add images to as many items as you need for your website slider. Here, you can also add an icon for every single slide, title, subtitle, description, etc.
   
4. Navigate to the “Settings” section meant to determine the behavior of the slide. It allows managing navigation, paging, autoplay, delay for autoplay, and more. Also, you can adjust the slide appearance and image rotation, enable the image to slide or fade, and decide on thumbnails displaying features, and how the slides should behave on hover, etc.
   
   Note: If you want to make a full-width slider, go back to the Editor settings and locate the “Layout” settings. Choose to stretch the section, go to the “Content Width” button, and set “Full-Width”.
5. Go to the “Style” menu and play around with the slider appearance by changing colors, fonts, alignment, and paddings until you are satisfied with how it looks.
   

Although the text guide, complete with the images, is a great help for those searching for comprehensive instructions, a video tutorial may give you an even more clear understanding of how to work with Elementor. Further, you may find a detailed video guide devoted specifically to slider creation.

Now that we’ve covered the instructions of how to create Elementor image slider, let’s consider the examples of dynamic sliders created with JetElements based on 5 best-selling WordPress Elementor themes. Hopefully, they will inspire you to try adding them to a website on your own.
