Drag the picture sideways and hold: you can stop in the middle of the move.

A vortex twists the picture away and the next one twists in, turning the same way throughout. It never winds back, so it reads as one continuous stir.

The middle of the frame moves little while the outer parts travel far, so a centred product stays recognisable a long way into the turn.

Pro

Comes with Pro. Pro starts at $19 a year.

Put it on

Coffee, tea and syrups
Anything you stir. A spoon through a cup is the picture in everyone's head.
Round products
Plates, vinyl, watch faces and pizza stones look right turning around their own centre.
Playful sweet brands
It has some circus in it, and ice cream can use that.

Keep it off

Long horizontal products
A sofa photographed end to end gets wrung like a towel.
People prone to motion sickness
A spinning full-screen picture is one of the stronger triggers. Keep this one away from huge heroes.

Settings

In the block the time of a move is a setting on every transition. Everything else on this list comes from gpu slider, which draws it.

1300A turn wants about a second and a bit. Quicker gets dizzy, slower looks like a screensaver.

In the block, in three steps

  1. Add the Product Slider block to your page, and under Products choose one category.
  2. Set Layout to One at a time, then pick Swirl under Transition. It comes with Pro.
  3. Try it with reduced motion turned on in your system settings: the slider should move without the spin, which is what those visitors asked for.
