To recreate the slider functionality in a Webflow site, you can use the native Slider Component or create a custom slider using interactions. Here's how you can achieve both:

Using the Slider Component

  1. Drag and drop the Slider Component from the Add Panel onto your page.
  2. Customize the appearance of the slider by adjusting the properties in the Slider Settings panel.
  3. Add slides by clicking on the "+" icon in the Slider Settings panel or by duplicating an existing slide.
  4. Customize each slide's content and styling by selecting the slide and modifying the elements within it.
  5. Preview and publish your site to see the slider in action.

Creating a Custom Slider with Interactions

  1. Create a container element that will hold your slides.
  2. Inside the container, add div elements for each slide, each with a unique class.
  3. Style the slides as desired.
  4. Go to the Interactions Panel and click on the "+" icon to create a new interaction.
  5. Choose the trigger for your slide transition. For example, you can use a click trigger on navigation buttons or an auto-play trigger using the page load event.
  6. Add an action to the interaction, selecting the target slide and the animation you want to use. For example, you can use the "Move" animation to slide the current slide out of view and the next slide into view.
  7. Customize the animation properties like easing, duration, and delay to achieve the desired effect.
  8. Preview and publish your site to see the custom slider in action.

By following these steps, you can easily recreate the slider functionality in a Webflow site, whether by using the native Slider Component or creating a custom slider with interactions. Both methods offer flexibility and customization options to meet your specific design needs.
