NEWS HOMEPAGE · TOP STORIES

The news layout pairs the slider with a headline list. Each headline fills up while its story is showing, and clicking one jumps straight to it. Here it shows today’s trending stories.

Example news site · fictional
The Harbor Ledger
Portland, Maine · Local news since 1998

Read counts are sample numbers seeded for the preview.

TRAVEL MAGAZINE · COVER STORIES

Center cards keep the next and previous stories in view, so readers know there’s more. Click a side card, swipe, or use the arrow keys.

INTERIOR DESIGN STUDIO · SERVICES

The split layout keeps text easy to read on a calm panel while the photo reveals with a soft curtain. These slides are built by hand — headline, text and two buttons each.

Hearth & Hue is a fictional example studio.

VACATION RENTALS · LANDING PAGE

Full-width slides with an accent color wash, centered text, a parallax slide transition and numbered picker. Each slide can have its own accent color.

Example rental brand; places are real US destinations, listings are fictional.

ARCHITECTURE PORTFOLIO · PROJECTS

The minimal layout puts a huge project number behind a bold title, with the photo on the right and “Prev / Next” as words. Made for studios and photographers.

Linea is a fictional example studio.

PHOTOGRAPHER · FULL SCREEN

The vertical layout slides upward with progress lines on the right — a natural fit for photographers and full-screen portfolio intros. Swipe up or down on phones.

Ella Rae Photography is a fictional example.

TECH & DESIGN BLOG · FEATURED

Thumbnails with titles under the slider show what’s coming next. The curtain transition reveals each new story from the side.

BAKERY · THIS WEEK

Each card slides off the top of the deck to show the next one — playful, compact and easy to swipe on a phone. Great for menus, offers and events.

  • 🥐 Fresh bakes every morning at 7
  • 📍 Example bakery in Asheville, North Carolina
  • 🛍️ Order ahead for pickup
SPORTS DAILY · LEAD + UP NEXT

The mosaic layout keeps the lead story big while the next three wait in photo tiles beside it. When the story changes, the whole column moves up together — readers always see what’s coming.

TECH NEWS · TODAY’S TOP FIVE

Five headlines stand in a numbered rail beside the photo. A thin bar fills next to the story that’s showing, and clicking any headline jumps straight to it.

WEEKLY MAGAZINE · COVER STORY

The magazine-cover layout prints your magazine’s name at the top, the date and issue number on the right and the headline in oversized serif type — like the cover on a newsstand.

The Sunday Edit is a fictional magazine name.

GAMING & ENTERTAINMENT · REVIEWS

The center story faces the reader while its neighbors turn away in 3D, like a shelf of game boxes. Click a side card, swipe, or use the arrow keys.

TRAVEL & FILM MAGAZINE · NOW SHOWING

Portrait cards line up in a strip. The current one opens wide with its story, the rest glide along behind it — made for travel, film and fashion magazines.

BUSINESS MAGAZINE · FEATURES

Text sits on a calm color panel with a slanted edge, the photo slowly zooms on the right and a big outline number counts the stories. On phones the panel rises from the bottom.

TRY IT · TRANSITIONS

All five transitions are slow and soft on purpose. Visitors who ask their device for less motion get simple fades automatically.
