Awesome slider

By mmk175 on March 12, 2024

I got the pro version of the plugin.

It's great and easy to use. If you have a creative finger this will work well for you.

Their support team are also great and patient which is ideal for a noob like me.

Perfect

Best free slider plugin

By AndyBrunner on January 7, 2024

The free version of Smart Slider 3 is a professional, feature-rich plugin. I have replaced all other slider plugins on my websites with it.

Highly recommended!

Very customizable, best plugin ever

By ClemAsFolk (clems41) on December 28, 2023

I never leave reviews but I just had to. This plugin is everything I was looking for, and even more. Which is: a complete slider plugin that allows me to choose from (really) nice looking templates, and to still customize everything after that! Choose what type of content you want in your slide, how you want it to look, where you want to position it, and so much more. I can't believe the level of customization that is available. And you can do so much in the free version already. Thank you for this amazing plugin and please never stop it!

Best ever slide plugin

Has so much functionality; support (only needed to clarify capabilities, not for errors) quick and awesome, thank you :)

Top notch and great developer service

By ftfdev on November 16, 2023

SmartSlider 3 is easy, quick, responsive, light, and extremely versatile. The Pro version is affordable and the service top notch. We were surprised at the quick response with a solution the only time we've ever needed it. Excellent and highly recommended plug-in. Preferred to other well known options.

Nice :D
