As a Joomla novice I was a little worried about implementing this myself, but found the process really quite straight forward. I am in the early stages of using the slider, but so far so good. There seems to be plenty of scope to customise, more than enough for my requirements.
But the best thing, and the motivation for me taking the time to register for this site, and write the review (I never usually write reviews...), was the fantastic, prompt, patient service provided by their support team, both via email and their forum. For me, this is the most important aspect.
If you are a novice or non-technical user, and are looking for an attractive and simple to implement slider, you are looking in the right place.

Firstly, great module. does what it says and easy installation. Parameters layout is clear and easy to understand.
Regarding support, I had an Internet Explorer issue with text within the slider. The support team were back to me within an hour of the forum post. I went back and forth with support until we reached a fix.
I have dealt with a lot of J! extensions over the years and this one has by far the bast support. Recommended.

I bought the module for a very specific purpose - I had seen Apple's product pages and thought it was an excellent way to show details of a product.
This is pretty close to fulfilling the same functions.
The technical support was great. I posted on the forum and the developer offered to log onto the website back-end to configure it for me.
Very efficient and courteous.

Joomla is an optimal system in order to manage an immense number of information , but graphically it's rather difficult to be attractive. ARI Slider resolves with easy and effectiveness one of the more large problems about that and up to now entrusted with the usually news scroller: it merges together a view gallery of images with HTML articles . A different article can be linked by the related image thumbnail in more of one instance for each page and the css in order to manage them are enough customizable for being inserted in every site without problems. The new version ,1.3.2, manages until to 20 different items at the same time , with several modalities of scroll. ARI Slider has resolved me a big problem of visualization of a catalogue , otherwise to entrust it to the usuals cold and very poor graphically virtual catalogues . The software support of ARI Soft is great: about the problems (few) that I have had , they supplied me quickly with effective answers and definitive solutions, wonderful guys, thanks a lot!
