I’m not much for what I like to call, “flash and trash” and web design is no exception.
That’s why I surprised myself when I dug this cool slideshow. In fact, it really doesn’t slide, but flips. The 3D effect on this is cool without being code heavy and uses CSS transitions and Javascript for fallback.
Me likey.

I still love and use SlideDeck2 almost ‘religiously’ for slideshows. Granted I am almost 100% inside wordpress with all of my sites so the integration is a huge deciding factor there. This is nice, though I think the 3D effects would ‘scare’ some of my more conservative clients. Great Find.

SlideDeck2? I’ve thought about snagging it so many times. Is it really worth the bucks?
Jonathan Ober says
Eric,
I have used SlideDeck on dozens of sites. It only has gotten better and easier to use and there is an update coming soon! I would totally recommend it. I really enjoy the videos/photos all being easily integrated into the slideshow. Multiple image uploads is very nice to.

I’ll have to check out further and see if it’s fully GPL, too.

It’s not free, but it’s worth the $$ — Cultofmac.com has an article about a deal they are running with SD2 devs. — http://www.cultofmac.com/224085/create-amazing-sliders-for-your-wordpress-site-with-slidedeck-2-deals/
