How to Use the Slider Block on UniLink

The Slider block is a UniLink block that allows you to display multiple images or content cards in a horizontal carousel that visitors can swipe or click through.

What is the Slider Block?

The Slider block lets you present a series of visuals or messages in a compact, interactive format without stacking them vertically and making your page scroll endlessly. Each slide can contain an image, a title, and a description, making it ideal for showcasing a product collection, portfolio pieces, testimonials, team members, or a sequence of steps. It is a great choice for businesses and creators who have multiple related items to display in a space-efficient way.

How to Add the Slider Block to Your Page

1. Log in to your UniLink Dashboard at unilink.us
2. Select the page you want to edit
3. Click the Add Block button (+)
4. Search for or scroll to find Slider
5. Click to add it to your page

How to Configure the Slider Block

The Slider block provides a set of options for controlling both the content and the carousel behavior:

• Slide Image — Upload an image for each slide. Use consistent dimensions across all slides for a polished, uniform appearance.
• Slide Title — Add an optional title to each slide that appears as an overlay or caption beneath the image.
• Slide Description — Include a brief description on each slide to provide context or detail about what is shown.
• Slide Link — Make individual slides clickable by attaching a URL, so visitors can tap a specific slide to learn more or purchase.
• Auto-Play — Enable automatic slide transitions so the carousel advances on its own without requiring user interaction.
• Slide Interval — When auto-play is on, set how many seconds each slide displays before advancing to the next.

Best Practices for the Slider Block

• Upload images that are all the same size and aspect ratio to prevent the slider from shifting or resizing between slides.
• Limit your slider to five to eight slides. Too many slides means most visitors will never see the later ones.
• Make each slide self-contained with enough information to be meaningful on its own, since many visitors will only see one or two slides.
• Use the auto-play feature cautiously. Some visitors find automatic movement distracting, especially on mobile devices.
• If your slides represent products or portfolio items, link each slide to its corresponding detail page to drive conversions.
