Content sliders become very popular among website owners especially if they own online stores for their products. Such popularity is easy to explain. jQuery content slider adds vibrancy and freshness to the website. It helps with presenting the most important and useful content of a great amount of the website information as well as improve usability.

Content sliders are specific modules that allow presenting a website (or only Home page) content, products, services, photographers or designers portfolio pictures as well as any other important information in a quick and creative way.

Most of jQuery sliders may be divided in two groups:

Those with timed sequence when content is rotating without user’s effort;
Those that feature additional elements (thumbnails, icons, toggle elements, arrows etc.) that allow manually control the sequence.

The second group is much comfortable to use and preferred by visitors as it allows them controlling what they see and looks less annoying. You can also make the content slider both automatic and manually-controlled that improves UX.

Most of the best slider designs already implement navigation elements and all you should do is just to choose your best one keeping in mind the type of your content and the way you wish to organize it. The main thing is preventing a visitor from getting mixed up with too many navigation keys and unnecessary effects.
