Point it at a <strong>product category<\/strong> or <strong>tag<\/strong> and it builds a large hero <strong>stage image<\/strong> with a scrollable <strong>thumbnail strip<\/strong> underneath \u2014 no manual curation required, and no jQuery or heavy slider library weighing down your site.<\/p>\n\n<p>Most carousel plugins force one layout to awkwardly stretch across desktop and mobile. BTW Carousel builds them separately from the ground up, so each device gets a layout actually tuned for it \u2014 swipe gestures and touch-pause on mobile, hover-pause and arrow navigation on desktop.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>What makes v1.0.0 different<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>Earlier carousel plugins on the market either require jQuery, force a single one-size-fits-all layout, or lock basic features behind a paid tier.
