This is an easy to use slider – especially if clients are creating their own slideshows. They don’t have to deal with shortcodes which is nice for those non-tech clients. Support was very good. Every question I had was replied to in a timely manner and was helpful.

Love it. Thank you! I tried three other sliders and had problems with all. Finally this one does what it should and is easy to work with! Love it. Thank you!
