How to add Slideshow to your website

Embed Slideshow on Your Website

01

Create a Slideshow widget for your website on Common Ninja

First, create a Slideshow widget on Common Ninja. On the widgets catalog, find the Slideshow and enter the Editor.

02

Save the Slideshow widget

When you're done creating the Slideshow widget, click on the Save Changes button at the right top corner of the editor. If you don't have an account on Common Ninja, you'll have to register first.

03

Copy the Slideshow Embed Code

When you're ready to add the Slideshow widget to your website, click the Add To Website button at the top bar of the Editor. On the window that opens, click the Copy Icon to copy the widget embed code. In the next steps, you will paste this code into your website.

04

Paste the code to your Platform website’s HTML field.

Next, go to your Platform website editor and find the HTML field. It is most likely in the form of an HTML/Code widget or module which you can find on the Platform’s editor. Add it to your page, and paste the Slideshow Embed Code you’ve copied before to the HTML field. Save and update, and that’s it, you should have Common Ninja’s Slideshow widget on your Platform website.

05

Alternative Method 1: Through the HTML option in the text’s editing area.

If you can't find the HTML/Code widget or module, there's another way to put Common Ninja’s Slideshow widget on your Platform widget. You can just add the code to a special HTML section in the text editor.

06

Alternative Method 2: Add it directly to your Platform website’s HTML code.

If you're having trouble finding a widget or a special part in your text editor where you can add the Embed Code, you can try a different way to add the Slideshow widget to your Platform website. You can do this by putting it straight into your Platform website's HTML code.

Why Use This Widget

Use the Slideshow widget when you want to present multiple visuals that support one idea, but you do not want them to take over the page. Instead of placing images one after another in a long stack, a Slideshow cycles through them inside a compact area. This keeps the layout tidy and lets visitors move through the visuals at their own pace. A Slideshow works well for showing product views, service examples, customer stories with photos, or step by step sequences. Because the slides stay in one focused frame, the important content around them stays visible and your page feels more structured. This is especially useful in hero sections, above the fold areas, and landing pages where you want to add visual depth without crowding the screen.
