Think Vertically
I wonder who decided that website slideshows should slide horizontally who the page in most cases scrolls vertically? Vertical scrolling is much easier for the majority visitors using mobile touch devices.
Images
The ThemeKit M1 Vertical Slider inserts the images in two sizes using the HTML5 <picture> element. The images used in the demo were sized to 1000 x 600px and 720 x 480px and optimised before importing into EverWeb.
The picture element allows the inclusion of an alt text attribute for the search engines and screen readers.
Captions
The captions have controls for inserting them left, center or right and top, center or bottom and can appear on hover when viewed on computers.
Controls
The arrow tabs are located at the irght above the break point and them move left and right for mobile device users.
Links
Images can be configured as hyperlinks and the link icon can appear on hover if required.
Stage
The slideshow stage has controls for adding a border and a bottom box shadow for definition and depth.
Container
The container has options for spacing controls. The separate bottom spacing is used to add space for the bottom box shadow.
