What Are other people using in replacement for sliders?

[Striventa]

Hello, Moz Community! I am currently trying to replace a slider on our client's site. Sliders, in my opinion, are awful, they slow load times and just don't convey a solid message. I am using Wordpress and the visual composer plugin. Any ideas are really appreciated even they may seem a bit much, if I don't know how to do it I will figure it out. I apologize as well if this isn't the appropriate place for this type of question.

A powerful call to action should be used. You have about 8 seconds to appeal to the visitor and get them to engage with the brand. What you is present above the fold is everything.

Well my personal slider preference is https://smartslider3.com/ it's light, it's groovy and it's free.

On the other hand, if you are an anti-stlider crusader then a full width image with a strong call to action will do the trick.

Thank you, Donald! I honestly didn't know the engagement window was so small. I will really consider this and apply it. I appreciate the response!

Hey, George! Thanks for the response, I am just at the point of wanting them gone, the crusade has begun! Thank you for the full-width idea. I am still a BIG Noobie to all of this, so any help is appreciated. Thank you!!
