You’ve probably seen websites where you’re able to switch between two images or videos, revealing a dramatic change or a before and after comparison? Those are called a Before-After Slider!

A before-after slider can be a game-changer for your website, whether you’re showcasing product transformations, comparing design concepts, or simply adding an interactive element.

If you’re wondering how to create a before and after slider? / how to add before and after slider to website? / how to make before and after photo slider? This article is for you.

In this easy-to-follow tutorial, we’ll guide you through the process of creating your own Before After Slider.

We’ll cover everything from choosing the right tools to customizing the slider’s appearance and functionality.

By the end, you’ll have a stunning slider that will wow your visitors and make your website stand out.

What Is a Before-After Slider?

A before after slider lets you show two images side by side so visitors can easily compare them. It’s especially popular for showing changes or improvements, like a room makeover or a product upgrade.

The cool part? Visitors can control the slider themselves, moving it to see the “before” and “after” images, which makes the experience more interactive and fun.

People love being able to see these comparisons. For viewers, it’s not just interesting, it also helps them make decisions.

For example, if you’re showing a product’s transformation or comparing two different items, the slider can help customers decide if they want to buy.

Being able to see how something looks before and after modifications is a huge factor in convincing people about the quality of your service or product.

These sliders work on various platforms, including WordPress, and they’re versatile. You can use them for different purposes, whether you’re comparing photos, showing off project results, or demonstrating a product’s features.

No matter what kind of website you have, a before after slider adds a dynamic way to engage your audience and boost customer trust.

Benefits of Using a Before and After Slider on WordPress

Using a before after slider on your WordPress site can make a big difference. It helps you show visitors the changes or improvements in your work, which can really grab their attention.

Here are a few key benefits:

• Easy to Use: Adding a before-after slider to WordPress is simple. With plugins like Depicter, you don’t need any coding knowledge. You can have a slider ready in just a few clicks.
• Better Engagement: When visitors can control the slider themselves, it makes their experience more interactive. They can see the transformation at their own pace, which keeps them more interested in what you’re showing.
• Builds Trust: Showing clear, real results—like a before-and-after shot of a completed project or a product upgrade—helps customers trust you more. They can see the actual difference your service or product makes, which can help them decide to make a purchase.
• Works on Any Website: A before-after slider can fit into any type of website. It’s a flexible tool that can showcase your work in a way that’s easy to understand.

Using a before-after slider on WordPress is an easy and effective way to show your visitors the value of your products or services.

When Do Before and After Sliders Appear? (Before After Slider Use Cases)

Before-after sliders are useful when you need to show a clear comparison between two images. They work great in many different fields and can be used for all kinds of projects.

Here are some common situations where you’ll see them:

• Beauty Clinics: Many beauty clinics use before-after sliders to show how treatments have improved someone’s appearance. It’s a great way for potential customers to see real results.
• Dental Clinics: Dentists often use these sliders to show the difference between a patient’s teeth before and after treatment, like braces or teeth whitening.
• Fitness Programs: Fitness trainers use before-after sliders to highlight the progress their clients make. It’s a powerful way to show the impact of workout programs.
• Home Renovations: When it comes to home improvement, showing the transformation of a space is important. Before-after sliders help customers see the dramatic changes in a room or building.
• Photography: Photographers use sliders to compare edited and unedited photos, helping people understand the value of their editing work.
• E-commerce: If you sell products that improve or transform something—like cleaning supplies, skincare products, or even software—a before-after slider can help show customers how well the product works.

In each of these cases, before-after sliders make it easy to present changes in a clear and engaging way.

By letting visitors control the slider themselves, they get a more interactive experience that helps them see the full effect of the transformation.

Before and After Slider Best Practices

Using a before-after slider can make your website more engaging, but to get the best results, there are a few things you should keep in mind.

Here are some tips to help you create an effective and easy-to-use slider:

• Use High-Quality Images: Make sure your before and after images are clear and high-quality. Blurry or low-resolution images can make it hard for visitors to see the differences, which defeats the purpose of using the slider.
• Choose Images That Show Real Change: Pick images that clearly show the transformation you want to highlight. The bigger the difference between the “before” and “after,” the more impactful the slider will be.
• Keep It Simple: Don’t overload your slider with too many extra elements like text or graphics. The main focus should be on the images. If you want to add text, keep it short and relevant to the comparison.
• Ensure Mobile Responsiveness: Make sure your before-after slider looks good and works well on mobile devices. Many visitors will be viewing your site on their phones, so your slider needs to be easy to use on smaller screens.
• Place It in the Right Spot: Put your before-after slider where it makes the most sense, like on a product page or a portfolio. It should be in a place where visitors are already looking for proof of results or examples of your work.
• Test It First: Before going live, test your slider to make sure it works smoothly. Check that the slider moves correctly, the images load quickly, and the controls are easy to use. This will give visitors the best experience possible.

By following these simple best practices, your before-after slider will not only look great but also be effective in showing the value of your work or product.

How to Create a Before After Slider in WordPress (Easy Steps)

Creating a before-after slider on WordPress is easier than you might think. Although I have to say the cool thing about Depicter is that you have two options:

• A. Create a before after slider using a ready-made template.
• B. Create a before after slider from scratch.

In this tutorial we’ll explore both starting from creating before after slider using a ready-made template.

A. Create a Before and After Slider Using a Template

Creating a before and after Slider using a template is easy, Just follow these simple steps:

1. Installing the Before After WordPress Plugin (Depicter)

To install the Depicter plugin, go to plugins in your WordPress dashboard, click on “Add New Plugin” and Search for Depicter.

Once you find it, install and activate it and you’re good to go.

2. Find and Import a Ready-Made Template

In the Depicter dashboard, head to templates then search “before after” in the search bar; That way you can see Depicter’s numerous before after WordPress ready-made templates.

Find a template and import it.

3. Customize the Template

Once you’ve imported the template, you can customize everything to match your needs.

4. Preview and Publish Your Slider

Now that you’ve made some changes, hit Preview to see how your slider looks. Nice, right? If you’re happy with it, you’re good to go!

Hit publish!

B. Create a Before and After Slider From Scratch (No Coding Required)

With Depicter, even when you’re creating a slider from scratch, you wouldn’t bee needing any coding skills. Just follow these simple steps:

1. Create a Slider from Scratch

Want to start from scratch instead of using a template? No problem! Head back to the Depicter dashboard and click Create a Blank. Then, choose the Hero Section to get started.

• Add a background image.
• From the left sidebar, find the Before-After Element and click on it to add it to your slider.
• Drag and drop your before-and-after images onto each side of the slider.

Now, feel free to add other elements like text, icons, or anything else you want. Customize them to fit your style.

2. Add Effects and Controls

With the before-after slider selected, you can enable some cool effects in the options menu:

• Turn on Blend and choose from its different effects.
• Enable Start on Hover—this makes the slider follow your mouse when you hover over it, giving it a smooth interactive feel.

Play around with the other settings, like changing the controls color to match your design. The best part? You can see all your changes live as you make them.

3. Preview and Publish

Once you’re happy with everything, click Preview to see the final result. Once you’re happy with it, hit publish and you’re good to go.

Conclusion

To wrap things up, adding a before-after slider to your WordPress website can really make a difference by grabbing attention and showing off what you do.

Whether you’re showing changes, comparing looks, or just adding something fun, a good before after slider makes your site more interesting and helps people trust your work.

With a tool like Depicter, making these sliders is super easy, even if you don’t know how to code.

After reading this tutorial, you now know how to create amazing sliders that will impress your visitors and make your website stand out. Give it a try and see how it makes your site better!

Email marketing is a powerful tool for businesses to connect with their customers in today’s digital world. If you use WordPress, there are lots of plugins and tools that can make your email marketing easier. One such plugin is Depicter. With Depicter, you can easily create and customize popups to capture email addresses and grow your subscriber list. By using these tools effectively, you can improve customer engagement, build relationships, and ultimately drive more sales.

Utilizing Popups for Email Collection:

One effective way to capture email addresses is through the use of well-placed and strategically designed popups. In the next section, we’ll explore how you can use Depicter to create and customize these popups. Popups can appear at various points on your website, such as when a user is about to leave or after they’ve spent a certain amount of time on a page. To ensure maximum effectiveness, create visually appealing popups with compelling offers or incentives.

Installing Depicter

1. Navigate to Plugins: Head over to your WordPress dashboard and click on “Plugins.”
2. Search and Install: Click “Add New,” search for “Depicter,” and hit “Install Now.”
3. Activate: Once installed, activate the Depicter plugin.

Creating Your First Popup:

1. Access the Dashboard: After activation, visit the Depicter dashboard.
2. Choose a Template: The dashboard offers a range of templates for various visual elements like popups, sliders, and more. Select a pre-designed popup template to kickstart your creation.

To preview a template before importing, simply click the “Preview” button. Once you’ve selected the desired template, click “Import” to add it to your Depicter editor and begin customizing.

Our template is now imported and ready for customization. Here, we can make any changes we want to the popup using the tools provided by Depicter. For a more in-depth look, I recommend watching this video.

To collect user emails, we need to use a specific element provided by Depicter called a ‘Form.’ Click on the ‘Elements’ menu in the left-hand panel and add a ‘Form’ element to your popup.

Once we add this element, we’ll have various options for different types of fields that we can add to our form. Here, we’ll add fields for ‘Name,’ ‘Email,’ ‘Submit button,’ and a ‘Form message.

The selected fields will be added to the form one by one. We can customize the appearance of this form using the options available in the ‘Options’ panel.

After a few adjustments, our final form will look like this.

After making these changes and saving the form, our popup will appear on our website according to the display settings we’ve chosen.

After entering their name and email, the user clicks the ‘Submit’ button. A message will then appear confirming that their information has been successfully sent.

Next, we’ll use the data that was saved by the form. To do this, go to the ‘Leads’ menu in the Depicter dashboard. Here, you’ll see the information that users submitted through the popup form. This data can be used for various purposes, such as email marketing. Keep in mind that you can filter, search, and even export this data as a CSV file for further analysis.

Conclusion

By using email marketing effectively and taking advantage of tools like Depicter, you can grow your email list and make more sales. This guide has covered everything you need to know, from understanding your customers to creating eye-catching popups and tracking your results.

Have you ever landed on a website and been greeted by a friendly message offering a discount or exclusive content? That’s the power of a welcome popup!  These targeted messages can be a game-changer for your website, grabbing new visitors’ attention and sparking valuable engagement.

In this guide, we’ll show you how to create effective welcome popups using Depicter, a user-friendly WordPress plugin. We’ll walk you through the entire process, from installation to customization, ensuring your popups deliver the right message at the right time.

What is a welcome popup?

A welcome popup is a personalized greeting that appears when a visitor first lands on your website. It’s designed to capture attention, provide value, and encourage engagement.

Welcome popups are a powerful tool to boost your business. Offering incentives like discounts or exclusive content can quickly convert new visitors into loyal customers.

How to create a welcome popup with Depicter?

Installing Depicter

Depicter is easy to install. Just go to the ‘Plugins’ menu in your WordPress dashboard, click ‘Add New,’ search for ‘Depicter,’ and click ‘Install Now.’ Activate it, and you’re ready to start creating and customizing your popups.

Once the plugin is installed, we’ll access the Depicter dashboard. This dashboard provides tools to create a variety of visual elements like sliders, popups, carousels, and notification bars. To streamline the process, we’ll start with a pre-designed template for our popup. You can find these templates by clicking on the ‘Popup’ option at the top of the dashboard.

We can preview each one by using the ‘preview’ button. To import any of them, simply click the ‘import’ button. After a few seconds, your item will be imported and you’ll be taken to the Depictor editor.

Here, we can customize our pop-up exactly the way we want using the various tools and options that Depictor provides.

To learn more about creating a pop-up from scratch and using Depictor’s tools to personalize it, I recommend watching this video.

To control how the pop-up is displayed, we need to configure the Display Rules. To do this, click the ‘publish’ button, and then in the ‘Display Rules’ section, click the ‘Configure’ button.

There are four sections here to customize how the pop-up is displayed. In the first section, we’ll specify where on the website the pop-up should appear. For this example, we’ll choose the Home page.

The second section is used to schedule when the popup will appear. I suggest reading this article for more details. 

How to Schedule a Popup in WordPress

In the ‘after close’ section, you can determine what happens to the popup once it’s closed.

Next, in the ‘Triggers’ section, we’ll set the conditions for when the pop-up should appear. For this example, we’ll use the ‘Spend Time on page’ option and set it to 3 seconds.

Finally, we’ll save the changes and click the ‘Publish Now’ button under the publish menu. 

The end result will be that after a visitor opens the homepage of the website, our pop-up will be displayed after 3 seconds.

Conclusion

Welcome popups are a powerful tool for any website owner. They provide a valuable opportunity to greet new visitors, showcase your offerings, and convert them into engaged users. With Depicter, creating and customizing your own welcome popups is a breeze.

If you’re looking for Optinmonster altenative, you’re definitely not alone. Many users have turned to OptinMonster alternatives that are more user-friendly, budget-friendly, or even free.

Fortunately, there are plenty of options to explore. To make your search easier, I’ve compiled a list of the most popular and reliable OptinMonster alternatives. Take a look at the options below to find the right fit for your business.

Why Consider an Alternative to OptinMonster?

So, why are potential and current OptinMonster users seeking alternatives?

For those considering OptinMonster, some common concerns include the lack of a free trial, the high cost, and the need for paid integrations.

OptinMonster doesn’t offer a free trial, and its pricing plans range from $20 to $100 per month. This can be a significant expense for many businesses, prompting OptinMonster to run continuous discount offers to attract users.

Additionally, integrating with popular apps like Klaviyo, HubSpot, and Google Analytics requires the Pro plan, which starts at $60 per month. If you’re on the basic plan, these crucial integrations aren’t available.

Existing users also have their reasons for seeking alternatives, with the most common being the high costs and concerns over security vulnerabilities.

Upgrading to higher-tier plans may seem like a solution, but many users find they’re paying more for just a few additional features.

For instance, advanced features like exit popups and UTM tracking are only available in the Pro plan, while spin-to-win popups require the Growth plan at $100 per month.

Security is another concern. Not long ago, a significant security flaw was discovered in OptinMonster that potentially exposed sensitive information from over a million websites. Although this issue has been resolved, it has led some users to explore other options.

If these issues resonate with you, it might be time to consider an alternative to OptinMonster.
