aronda Slider vs Splide Carousel Block

The aronda Slider extends Elementor with a flexible slider widget for modern websites, landing pages and banner areas. Images, videos, texts, buttons and navigation elements can be set up and individually styled directly in the Elementor editor. Whether you need a classic hero slider, an eye-catching header area, a product slider or visual storytelling on a landing page: with the aronda Slider, content can be presented clearly, dynamically and in a visually appealing way. The aronda Slider combines flexible design options with simple usability. Add slides, insert background images or videos, place texts, activate buttons, configure navigation and adjust everything directly in Elementor. No complicated setup. No unnecessary detours. Simply a slider that feels good to use and works cleanly in Elementor. Key Features Flexible slides with image or video Create individual slides with a background image or video. For each slide, you can define which medium should be used and how it should be displayed. Fallback image for video slides For video slides, a separate fallback image can be added. This image is displayed if the video cannot be loaded or cannot be played on certain devices. Optimized for banner and hero areas The aronda Slider is ideal for large banner areas, header sliders and hero sections. Height, overlay, positioning and content can be adjusted flexibly. Clean HTML structure for headings With Title HTML Tag, you can choose the appropriate HTML tag for the slide title. If H1 is selected, only the first slide is output as H1, while all following slides are automatically output as H2. This keeps the page structure SEO-friendly and clean, even when multiple slides are used. Individually style the text overlay Position, alignment, background color, width, padding, margin and borders can be adjusted directly in the Elementor style section. This allows texts to be placed clearly and in line with the website design. Format title and description For title and description, the familiar Elementor style options are available. Typography, color, spacing and borders can be individually defined. Button with icon options Optionally, a button can be activated for the slider. Text color, background color, hover state, spacing, border radius and icon position can be styled flexibly. Navigation with arrows and dots Choose between arrows, dots, arrows and dots, or no navigation at all. Custom icons can be added for arrow and bullet navigation. Mobile control for arrows Arrow navigation can be shown or hidden on mobile devices. This keeps the slider clear and user-friendly on smaller screens. Autoplay, loop and pause on hover Define whether the slider should run automatically, how long each slide should remain visible, whether the slider should loop continuously and whether it should pause when hovered with the mouse. Ken Burns effect For image slides, an optional subtle Ken Burns effect can be activated. This adds more movement and depth without making the slider feel too busy. ACF support If required, content can be dynamically integrated via Advanced Custom Fields. This makes the slider suitable for dynamic content and custom website projects. Seamless Elementor integration The aronda Slider is used directly as an Elementor widget. All important settings are exactly where you would expect them: in the content and style sections of the Elementor editor. Free Version Features This plugin can be used completely free of charge.
