    Thank you very much for the article, really interesting !

    Just a question : do you know some good “full width” sliders ? Especially in blog design ?

    There is such a quality amount of designs here. I agree with Ralph, the Buro Maisengasse slider is fantastic. I like Allen Yu, Ptarmak and Savilles is a beautiful site in which the clean slider reflects the overall feel of the website. I will be using these for inspiration for a long time to come.

    Would you not say these were examples of Carousels without the status indicator? A slider is something you would usually use to determine a start and end point? I may be wrong, just my opinion

    Thanks for the post. I am trying to come up with a design on a new website. cxxvi and Banneton Bakery got my creative juices flowing. Overall all the designs you posted are great, but for some strange reason these 2 really inspired me.

    Excellent examples! Does anyone know the name of the font used on the Instrument website for the main title and headers?

    Awesome MARK DEARMAN! Looks like a playful slider to me but really great slides. Hope I would know how to create sites like these.. esp the html5.

    I’m sorry, but tiny hard-to-hit dots may look pretty, but they’re really, really bad UI design. It tells the user nothing about what’s on the other slides, or why they should click (or wait) to see them.

    What’s happened to graphic design? Some very clever functions which are too fussy and just take your eye away from what you should be looking at. And typography! We all know that web fonts are not the most creative bunch of letters, but sacrificing legibility for the latest cut of a font is not good design!
    Some good stuff too, but lets not lose sight of design.

    The most of slider is content based and truly they are exceptional and looks much compromising then the image sliders. I must say that the concept of using content slider is not dead and here at webdesignledger you people are keeping it alive.
    Thanks for inspiration.
