I'm using a slideshow on my website, basic functions...left and right buttons.
For some of the images, it would be nice to have an additional viewing option, where there would be mini images to the right of the main slide show image, and if you click on an individual image, it would replace the main image with that.
My reasoning is, this is an art website, and for some works it would be nice to view it from a different angle.
Does anyone know any good examples of something like this?
For reference, this is what I'm more or less using at the moment: http://www.w3schools.com/w3css/tryit.asp?filename=tryw3css_slideshow_self
Thank you for any help.

Has anyone got any idea on how to implement this carousel into my website? I am using WordPress and I am not sure how to go about this. I was told to use 'foo gallery' to achieve the same look however, it doesn't really feel the same and also didn't work on my site (for some reason).
I have tried to code some of this but I am awful at coding and I am mainly just spending my time watching youtube help videos if I am being honest!
I'll explain my neeed for this and what I would like it to do and then, if you could help me that would be great!
So like on reddit, I would like to implement this feature on my home screen to show off some of the 'Hot topics of the day'. Preferably, some code could automatically update the images and text each day depending on the comments/views left on a page - so the top 4 most viewed pages would be automatically added to the front page with a custom image (which I have created). However, that seems quite hard. So just the layout/template of the images (like the photo provided) AND there is a way for me to manually change the images and names each day would suffice. I would also like to have 4 photos which also act as buttons with the curved boarders.(again, like the image I have attached)
Just so it's clear, I do not want these images to be able to move off like a slideshow, I just want them to stay in place and be able to change either manually or automatically.
Maybe this is called something other than a carousel and would be easy to do... i dont know! So if you do, please let me know.
Furthermore, I appreciate this is a place mainly for code to be posted however, I won't post my code as it is useless! If anyone wants to share any code or contact me privately then that would be very much appreciated.
Thank you
This is mainly a question about the quality of logos/icons used in Websites. I create logos/icons using Illustrator but when I see icons on professional websites (see image and links), they look crisp like a text, with no blurriness. The edges are very clear. For example, please see this image, especially the search icon and the menu list icon:
This is my own Blog that has bad icons, the Logo and the Menu icon. Both of them are PNG images.
This is Entrepreneur website with awesome menu icon and search icon. If you check the Inspect Element for mobile site, you'll see that the search icon and menu icon are not images (I don't know actually the reality). It is using a pseudo element. How does it work? Maybe this has something to do with quality.
Same is true with TimeofIndia website. Here the menu icon is made using hr tag, so it's obviously great, but still the search icon is beyond understanding as it is using a pseudo element.
And another scenario is related to this Business Insider website's technique. I've seen it at most of the websites, especially Facebook like sites. They use a single image for all icons. How's it possible? If you don't understand please visit this website and check the URL of the menu and search icon's image. How's it done?
So first I would like to know how these things work? How these icons render?
Secondly why I'm not getting the quality like them? Should I stop using images like them? I'm asking this because I've tried exporting in many ways using Illustrator, with same dimensions as required, but still quality sucks. If you can see, in my own blog's (Blog) mobile site, the middle horizontal bar is blurred despite the original image looks awesome before upload. Why is that?
I think these are too many questions. I would appreciate if you can provide suitable links to understand these things fully, if explaining them here is not easy.
Thank you.
If I could, I'd give #marc-b five upvotes :) The first step, before coming to SO, should always be trying to solve the problem yourself. Then you can come to us with an on-topic question. Here, that first step is to right click on one of the icons you're interested in, and choose "inspect".
There are a couple questions here: what are some ways of making crisp images?, and what's the deal with having multiple images in one file? Both of those are very Googlable, but I'll give you a head start:
Two common ways to make images crisp are:
SVG (vector graphics - as an Illustrator user you already know about the difference between those and raster graphics, and why they're crisp. If not, google "vector raster difference")
2x images - the technique here is to make an image twice the final display size, and then use CSS to shrink it down. The in-browser scaling will have a crisper result that just displaying a 1x image.
Having more than one image in one is called a "sprite." You can have a raster sprite or an svg sprite.
Here's an intro to svg https://css-tricks.com/using-svg/, here's an intro to sprites https://css-tricks.com/css-sprites/, here's an intro to svg sprites https://css-tricks.com/svg-sprites-use-better-icon-fonts/, and here's an intro to the latest thing, srcset https://css-tricks.com/responsive-images-youre-just-changing-resolutions-use-srcset/
I need a full-width image with labeled sections to link to individual pages. Any suggestions how to make this happen? The web site is built on WordPress, so if a plug-in will accomplish this that will work too. Method needs to be responsive and not break apart as viewport is reduced.
For example, Section 1 needs to link to the Section 1 page, etc.
See image at
Well, if you want to have something like that and responsive, you should cut the image in as many pieces as items you need, create an element for each piece and set the image as background. There rest is mediaqueries, maybe you can do it with bootstrap.
Also, try to go to the design community, as this is more related to design than anything else, and I don't think a Wordpress plugin exists for this.
So I've been tinkering with a REALLY simple web page (and this is why this is painful for me - it's a simple page) and I've been trying to make it responsive. I sort of had it looking right on a mobile screen, but the more I tweaked my code, the worse it got on other sizes.
So..I really hope that I'm not asking TOO much - but again the page is super simple, so this might be simple to answer..so I'll just jump in and ask a few questions :/
I want the page's big call to action image to disappear on a phone screen, and I'm trying to get the logo to center and the phone number to center right under it. I'm trying to get the bullet points images to center above the two lines of text..and the contact form to just fall in right below it (contact form was working just fine it seemed, so no big question there)
I'll link a live copy of the page as a reference - and a link to a page I've been mimicking in case it helps.
http://lab.blacksunresearch.com/ is my page
http://landing.trugreen.com/growth29 is the page im mimicking (sort of)
Again, I hope it doesnt sound like a TON of stuff, but the page is so simple, I'm probably only missing a few lines of code in my media queries
Thanks!
Edit: Moose, emoticon removed - also, I did ask a question - "How do I make this page more responsive?"
Open their CSS and look at parts with media-queries. There is what you want.
There are only 2 css which you should look through:
themeform.css
themeresponsive.css
You have to include some css to make it responsive ( Custom css , Jquery ,Jquery Mobile , Bootstrap etc) . Or you can simply put some Media Queries where you want your webpage to Act differently, ie responsive .
So... I have to make a working prototype of a website to customize your own cupcake. I really don't know how to make it. I got an image in my head of what I want, but I absolutely don't know how to get it to work.
So, my question is: Is it possible to have multiple image sliders overlap filled with png images so if you click the thumbnails you can build up an image consisting of changeable parts?
I already found some basic image sliders that I would like to use. The thumbnails for the sliders will be hidden in the various menus. Every menu stands for a changeable part of the cupcake, so the thing I want to create with all of the sliders is a personal cupcake.
I made the png files myself so I really hope this idea is possible, because I need this working thing for school and otherwise I really don't know what to do to make it work :X.
