One useful step at a time.

Follow the numbered instructions below. Use “Watch this part” where a related clip is available; it pauses so you can try the step.

  1. STEP 1 OF 4

    Turn on the carousel

    In 02 Design, open Hero carousel and choose Carousel as the opening style.

    Watch this part 10 sec

  2. STEP 2 OF 4

    Choose the presentation

    Compare Studio split, Editorial ribbon and Cinematic frame. Choose image height and the change effect.

    Watch this part 6 sec

  3. STEP 3 OF 4

    Write each slide

    Add up to six slides. Give each a headline, supporting copy, image, alternative text and a meaningful button destination. Move slides into a useful order.

    Watch this part 7 sec

  4. STEP 4 OF 4

    Check playback and save

    Try previous and next controls at desktop and phone sizes. Automatic playback is optional; retain pause and reduced-motion behaviour. Save the draft.

    Follow the written instructions for this step.

HOW YOU KNOW IT WORKED

Check your result.

The first slide explains the main offer and every button leads somewhere useful.

If it doesn’t feel right yet.

Give your strongest message the first slide. Visitors have lives to get back to. Use a single-image opening if extra slides add no value.
