Modern web design can’t live without these visual enhancements because they show in really simple ways a lot of concise information sliding along the visitors’ screens and they love it. Almost every client you come in contact with asks for a jQuery image gallery, a jQuery slider or a jQuery carousel, depending how they refer to it. They name it in various ways but nowadays almost all of them do the same thing so the name is quite irrelevant, what they do is important and that is showcasing important pictures, videos or text to a site’s visitors.
Now, these jQuery image sliders tend to deprecate in time and newer versions or newer plugins appear to take their place to be used by web designers. This was somehow obvious but I realized it a few weeks ago when I tried to use a jQuery slider from an old article of mine. Evidently, I didn’t because there were newer plugins that were doing their job better and faster. In this article you have these new image or content sliders, these plugins that I hope will help you as much as they have helped me.

Basic jQuery Slider
There are a lot of jQuery image sliders out there. Most of them are loaded with features and skins, which are great if it’s exactly what you are looking for – but more often than not you need to customize it for your own needs and it can be difficult cutting through the bloat of a full featured slider.
Basic jQuery Slider has been developed to be as simple and lightweight as possible. Only the essential functionality has been included combined with clean semantic mark-up. This means instead of removing features and bending it to suit your needs, you can use this slider and as a base and extend it to be as feature rich, or as simple, as you need.
Flux Slider
Flux slider is a CSS3 animation based image transition framework, inspired in part by the fantastic Nivo Slider jQuery plugin.
Instead of the traditional Javascript timer based animations used by jQuery, Flux utilises the newer, more powerful CSS3 animation technology. Its in a fairly early/rough state at the moment but testing on the iPhone/iPad does appear to produce much smoother animations. Desktop performance (as with Nivo) is very smooth but the use of CSS3 enables us to produce some new effects that Nivo can’t, e.g. rotations.
The aim is to use hardware acceleration where possible to improve performance on less powerful devices, such as mobiles & tablets.
