Goat Slider — The Greatest Webflow Slider of All Time

Goat Slider — The Greatest Webflow Slider of All Time
Published
May 15, 2024

It’s been quite some time since Webflow designers and developers have been complaining about the painful and limited way of operation that the integrated Webflow Slider offers, but with Webflow’s announcement of Apps in 2023 everything changed.

Webflow Apps is a great opportunity given to the community by the Webflow team so that we together can bring valuable tools to the Webflow family, thus extending the platform’s abilities, and making it much easier and productive to use for every one of us.

The Idea of Goat Slider

Not long after Webflow apps were introduced, we started testing them by creating four awesome Webflow apps helpful for the community. We started from Ikonik offering 50k+ copyright-free icons, to SVGFlow, Logo To Use, Modulo, and Text Wizard AI, giving the Webflow community free tools for icons, logos, editing SVG files, and an awesome text generation tool to substitute the boring ‘Lorem Ipsums’ on your templates.

But we didn’t stop with that, after these awesome Webflow apps, we came up with the idea of creating a Webflow app that would be a solution to the clunkiness of the integrated Slider, and thus the journey began.

After much time and effort spent and many teases along the way on our social media, the Goat Slider launched for each and every one of you who have been waiting for a Slider solution like this. 

What does the Goat Slider App do?

The Goat Slider Webflow app is the epitome of efficiency and flexibility when it comes to creating sliders within your Webflow projects.

Here’s a breakdown of what makes our slider the GOAT:

  1. Seamless Webflow Integration: The Goat Slider seamlessly integrates into your Webflow workflow, allowing you to add dynamic and responsive sliders to your websites without any hassle.
  2. Unmatched Variety of Slider Styles: Unlike the native slider's limitations, Goat Slider lets you create a vast array of slider styles.  This includes classic arrows, sleek number navigations, infinite loops, carousels, and various transition effects like fades, slides, and even custom ones you can design yourself.
  3. Power of Webflow CMS: Goat Slider integrates beautifully with Webflow's CMS (Content Management System).  This allows you to effortlessly manage your slider content directly from the Webflow interface. Add, edit, and delete slides with ease, keeping your content dynamic and fresh.
  4. Rich Media Support: Goat Slider supports a wide range of media types, including images, videos, and even interactive elements. This means you can create engaging sliders that go beyond static sliders.
  5. Mobile-First Design: Built with mobile responsiveness in mind, Goat Slider ensures that your sliders look stunning and function flawlessly on all devices, whether it's a desktop, tablet, or smartphone.
