C5 Extras :: Carousel Pro

An elegant, sophisticated animation for your website that will make it sizzle like a hot summer's day.

This is the ideal way to display featured content, news or other mini banners with extreme flexibility. The carousel moves each item in a circular rotation (thus the name) and it automatically loops around. You have a huge amount of control over the speed of the animation, animation effect, number of visible items and even the direction of the carousel - vertical or horizontal!

The core script is only 2KB so it's lightning fast, and the animation works on all browsers, including iPad/iPhone.

The best feature is an innovative custom style builder which integrates with Google Web Fonts, so you can choose from over 400+ web-friendly fonts, along with different sizes and colours. Absolutely no programming or technical know-how required. Just point-and-click.

It's just so beautiful and so easy to use. Just get it now!... you'll be glad you did.

Tips:

When selecting a Google Web Font, it is only visible once you refresh the page (as the modified code is placed in the "head" of the web page. However, a link to preview and search through the Google Web Fonts is included in the editor interface.

When adding multiple images, it looks best when using images that are the same size. So we've included support for automatic resizing and cropping of images.

Advanced Tips:

If you want 100% control over the styling of the Carousel Pro, you've got it. Some sample code snippets are included in the editor interface, along with examples of how to create your own custom "previous" and "next" links for manual control over the carousel. This could be used for creating a slideshow-style animation (eg. 1 slide at a time).
