Homepage Space Design Elements: Designing Carousels

Homepage Space Design Elements: Designing Carousels

Carousels allow multiple pieces of content to occupy a single, coveted space. This may placate corporate infighting, but on large or small viewports, people often scroll past carousels.

A static hero or integrating content in the UI may be better solutions. But if a carousel is your hero, good navigation and content can help make it effective.

Main Benefits Of Carousels

The greatest benefit of using carousels is that they enable more than one piece of content to occupy the same piece of prime real estate on the homepage, which can help diffuse any infighting about whose content is most deserving. An additional benefit is that because more information appears near the top of the viewable area, there may be greater opportunities for people to actually see it.

Tips for Designing Better Carousels

  • Include 5 or fewer frames within the carousel, as it’s unlikely users will engage with more than that.
  • Use crisp-looking text and images that coincide with the organization’s charter.
  • Use icons and links that are understandable and recognizable.
  • If offering a navigation button for each frame (rather than arrows to scroll through), ensure that each button looks different, and represents the frame.
  • Make links and buttons large enough to decipher and click.

Auto-Forwarding

Auto-forwarding through the frames in a carousel leads people through the information. But there are some instances where auto-forwarding is not recommended:

  • When we are not sure about the timing.
  • When there are advertisements in the content.
  • The page is viewed on a mobile device.

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

Ashley Anthony

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Even five minutes a day will improve your thinking. I've come across new ideas and learnt to improve existing ways to become more motivated, confident and happier.

Giovanna Scalzone

Brilliant. It feels fresh and encouraging. So many interesting pieces of information that are just enough to absorb and apply. So happy I found this.

Jamyson Haug

Great for quick bits of information and interesting ideas around whatever topics you are interested in. Visually, it looks great as well.

Laetitia Berton

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
