I've been trying to upload the slider I've created to my Google site. Overall, this template is a great rendition for a specific purpose: if you want a slideshow or slider on your website that channels the look and feel of a television set, this template is definitely the one you want to use! This helps the user know that they can interact with the arrows and encourages the user to click on them. When the user hovers over the arrow, the shadow darkens, and the arrowhead becomes more opaque. There is a faint shadow on each side of the slideshow (it creates a slightly 3D effect, like an old-fashioned curved TV screen). These arrows allow the user to skip forward through the slides or go back to a previous slide. The only UI elements that do exist are two semi-transparent white arrowheads, one on the left side of the slideshow and one on the right.

WOW Slider allows you to add videos to your bootstrap carousel tutorial, so this is entirely possible. This template would work extremely well if you loaded videos instead of images - so each video popped into place like you were switching on a TV. It’s also a relatively simple UI, so good if you have an older audience and want to keep everything extremely clear and simple for them to use. Instead, the images speak entirely for themselves and this template would work well when the images are sequential and need to be seen in order - again, I could see this working well for educational or historical images. Unlike many of the WOW Slider templates, there is no ‘bullet’ navigation (the small dots that allow people to skip to different slides’), or a caption. There is very little in the way of additional UI elements. It is possible to use a different change effect, but you will lose most of the TV ‘look’. This change effect is called TV, and is the key design choice for this template. Each slide appears and disappears with an effect that resembles that of turning a TV on or off - with the image shrinking down to a white cross/dot. The background color of the slideshow is black. This makes it ideal for ‘square’ images, and means you are not limited to landscape style photographs in your slideshow.

The slideshow itself is square, like an old-fashioned TV screen. The template would also be an appealing choice to showcase educational or historical images.

If you want your slideshow to look like a TV, either because you are using it to promote a TV series or movie, or if you sell television accessories then this is the ideal template for you. There are quite a few style choices that help create this effect, the major one being the transition effect between each slide. This slideshow template is very specific: it is designed to look like a television. TV EFFECT & BOOTSTRAP SKIN CAROUSEL BOOTSTRAP
