What Is the Before / After Slider Widget?
A before/after slider lets visitors drag a handle across a photo to reveal the "before" remodel state on one side and the "after" on the other. It's the single most effective visual for selling remodeling work, because it makes your transformation undeniable in two seconds.
Key Benefits
