User Friendly Admin Panel
Crelly Slider does not require any Coding Knowledge. With the simple admin panel you will be able to create the sliders in the easiest way. Upload images with the default WordPress interface or choose colors using the picker.

Most of the animations and the transitions are written in jQuery (using the “animate” function). In this way we can assure the compatibility with modern (even Android and iOs) and older browsers.

It does exactly what other plugins fail to do:
animated sliders, with a clear back end and acceptable learning curve not overflowed by mostly unuseful functionalities and upsell tentatives.

by Orhan Colak·5 years ago
