jQuery Slider Shock is absolutely free, with an impressive list of features built-in:

  • Add thumbnails on any of the four sides of the slider
  • Create a video slider or get external sources
  • Add videos from any of your favorite videos host
  • Mix videos and images inside the slider
  • Show the slider wherever you need it
  • Several sliders in the same page
  • Add a background to the text captions inside the slider
  • Add captions to your slides with adjustable width and position
  • Add background patterns via external URL
  • Choose delay time
  • Select a specific image width with customizable margins
  • Add thumbnail labels and select a color or a pattern background
  • Pick a style for title and text
  • Select the style of the arrows

A few of the more complex features are reserved for premium license holders. Commercial licenses start at just $19 and features include:

  • Fully responsive, mobile ready
