<h4>Why Use Slider Hero Rather than Other WordPress Slider Plugin?</h4>
Traditional Image Sliders are bad for user conversions and they cause banner blindness. They are boring and do not engage users. Eye tracking studies conducted by Neilson Norman Group found that as soon as visitors perceived something to be an advertisement they turned their focus away from it. Image sliders divide your user’s attention. Images on slides represent different products or offers in the span of a few seconds. Your website user has hardly read a single thing when whoosh…the image changes and they have to refocus their attention.
Our slider plugin is different. It focuses on your core messages/, uses a background animation of your choice to keep the user interested and focused. The unique Call to Action button leads the users where they really need to be. The effects are almost like subtle Cinemagraph animations when used in onjunction with your images or text carousels. Think of it as a perfect alternative to background videos.
<h4>More than a Slider Plugin – Use Motion Typography to Build Amazing Product Intros</h4>
The other unique feature of Slider Hero is the Intro Advert builder. Introduce your products and services with a dramatic flair. The typographic intro builder allows you to do something very unique. You can create stunning product introductions like stunning “Apple – iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus in 107 seconds” or “Introducing Pixel, Phone by Google” with chained text animation combining background audio of your choice.
Build a combination of beautiful text animation along with the background animation. This can be applied in company introductions, creative projects, for your product or service launch etc. You can easily change the color of the text, animation type and more! The intro builder interface is simple and intuitive.

<h4>Slider Hero Benefits</h4>
This is the best wordpress header slider plugin with text overlay and cinematic background animation effects. This plugin is best used as Intro, Landing Page Slider or Home Page Slider. It can be used as a fullscreen slider plugin besides the full width or custom width modes. Create a memorable EXPERIENCE for your wordpress coming soon, splash page, home page or landing page that will impress your site visitors with a memorable first impression.
You can use the Elementor Slider widget or Gutenberg Slider block to create HTML5 animated banners, HERO Banner, hero carousel with text and image, HERO text carousel, responsive header image slider, or simple image carousel. The pro version supports Parallax Effect and Ken Burns Effect.
Marketers prefer Hero image or Hero sliders for homepage and landing pages because traditional image sliders do not convert customers as much as an animated bannere which typically occupies the most prime real estate of your website. This plugin provides a middle ground. It allows you to set a background Hero Image and/or select a GREAT javascript background animation effect and apply Title, Description and Buttons etc. as slides or carousel. Instant awesomeness.
There are quite a few great WordPress slider plugins available but they take a lot of efforts and expertise to produce awesome effects you see in their demos. With our plugin, you can make amazing looking Homepage or Landing Page Hero Sliders or animated header with cinematic effects easily and quickly like no others.
