How To Create Responsive Image Comparison Sliders & When To Use Them?
If you want to boost engagement on your website, one clever way could be by creating an Image Comparison Slider. By using such sliders on your website, you can show comparisons between different images to your website visitors, which will make your web pages look more dynamic and engaging to your target audience.
3 Ways Image Comparison Slider Benefits Your Business
The benefit of an interactive, responsive Image Slider is that it encourages website visitors to engage with your content. As site visitors can easily move the slider to see the differences between your product images, they can interact with the content on your website. Let’s delve deeper into some of the most effective use of this feature.
1. Enhance Visual Appeal Outstandingly
An image comparison slider made up of attractive, high-resolution images will undoubtedly capture the attention of its visitor, causing him or her to remain longer and maybe browse the other aspects of the website. If you can implement a dynamic yet responsive Image Slider on your website there will be a high chance that your business will skyrocket in a massive way.
2. Showcase Your Products Beautifully
“A picture is worth a thousand words,” as the old saying goes. Images may express messages more efficiently than words. So, by using an Image Comparison Slider block on your website, you can effortlessly showcase products beautifully in a more interactive way.
For instance, in the example below of a skincare website, you can see how using an Image Comparison Slider block in Gutenberg can help you show your potential customers the benefits of using your skincare products using ‘Before and ‘After’ images.
3. Improve User Experience
Since an image comparison slider lets your potential customers easily compare two different products, it can help them make quicker purchase decisions. This will enhance the user experience since the user will be able to spend more time on the image with the highest perceived value.
