Carousel

Using an image carousel can bring many benefits to a website. First of all, it makes better use of the space on the site, allowing you to present more content. In addition, a carousel of images can increase user engagement and get users to interact with the content or products presented.


Adding a carousel of images to your site.

1. Go to edit your page.

2. Carousels can be added from the toolbar on the left side of the editor. Just click the appropriate icon or drag it into the workspace.

Swing - The movement of the object progresses evenly in time. There is no acceleration or deceleration, this function gives the impression of smoothness.
Linear - The movement of the object proceeds evenly in time. There are no accelerations or decelerations, this function gives the impression of mechanical motion. 
Ease - this is a function that introduces a gentle acceleration and deceleration at the beginning and end of the animation. In the middle of the animation, the object moves evenly. This creates a more natural feel and is often used in animations.
Ease-in - Starts with a slower movement and speeds up as the animation progresses. Often used when you want an object to slowly "move" at the beginning of an animation.Ease-out - Starts with a faster movement and slows down as time passes. It is useful when you want the object to slow down and stop smoothly.
Ease-in-out - This is a combination of Ease-In and Ease-Out. At the beginning and end of the animation, the object moves slower, and in the middle part, the movement is even.This is a very popular feature that creates smooth and natural transitions between states.8.
