I worked with the Slick Carousel module which helps us to add the best slider possible to our website. It is created by Ken Wheeler.

Slick Carousel module is an amazing tool that helps us create an image slideshow with just a few easy steps. It requires the Blazy module that provides integration with bLazy to lazy load and multi-serve images to save bandwidth and server requests. It loads images faster and saves data. It also requires two libraries,  Slick library and jqeasing.

Slick works with fields and Views, and supports enhancements for image, video, audio, and more complex layouts. To use Slick, I created a content type with 3-4 images in it. This image field's display format was changed to Slick. This field was configured with the various configuring options slick provides us with.

Slick is also fully responsive and uses CSS3 if available. With these easy steps my stunning image slideshow is created.
