Hero · Slideshow (sideways)

A full-screen hero with a centered intro over photos that slide in from the side one after another, under a dark layer, with no script.

Full-page views: desktop, phone and dark mode

At 1440px wide.

At 390px wide.

With your site in dark mode.

See it live: Hero · Slideshow (sideways) on fancybricks.co — the live preview, and the button that copies it.

In the builder

Preview on the front end. Scripts don't run inside the builder, so here you only see the layout: the pause button needs the front end (the photos already move in the builder). Save and open the page to see the full result.

Structure

This is what the Bricks Structure panel shows after you paste the template. Component instances say which component they are.

Hero · Slideshow (sideways)
  Container
    Hero   (FBK Hero)
      Hero · Photo 1 (background, decorative)
      Hero · Photo 2 (background, decorative)
      Hero · Photo 3 (background, decorative)
      Intro   (FBK Intro)
        Button   (FBK Button)

The template also pastes a dashed note above the section, with the short version of this page. It only shows inside the builder, never on the published page — see Builder notes.

How to adjust

Every step is the same move: pick the element in the Structure panel, change its Properties.

Where are those panels?

How to adjust a template shows every one of them in a screenshot of the real builder: the Structure and Properties panels, the classes on an element, a component's style families and the field where a CSS variable goes.

The classes this element carries, in the Bricks panel.

This template's own component, with its Style group open.

1. Paste the template in Bricks first — see Copy and paste.
2. Select Hero (FBK Hero) › Properties: Style group: Layer, Text colors · Layout group: Height, Content position, Width · Motion group: Effect, Time per photo.
3. Select Intro (FBK Intro) › Properties: Eyebrow, Hide eyebrow, Title, Title level, Lead, Hide lead · Style group: Eyebrow style, Highlight, Title size, Accent line · Layout group: Alignment, Layout, Background, Spacing · Motion group: Reveal in slider.
4. Select Button (FBK Button) › Properties: Text, Link, Tone, Shadow on hover · Icon group: Icon, Icon position · Style group: Style, Size, Width, Hover effect.

Requirements

• Code execution. Needs "Execute code" enabled for the role in Bricks → Settings → Custom code, or the JS block shows as plain text instead of running.

What each requirement is, and how to set it up once for the whole site: Requirements.

Finish by hand

• Put 2 to 5 photos in the hero's Background slot (at least 1600 px wide; decoration, empty alt). Keep them eager: the ones waiting off the edge must already be there when their turn comes.
• The other slideshows are FBK Hero › Motion › Effect (fade, slide up, slide left, columns). Time per photo: Motion › Time per photo. The pause button (with its progress ring) is required; the slideshow also stops off screen, and stays on the first photo with reduce motion.
• The button's hover is the FBK Button effect Sweep (Hover effect dropdown; Color change for a plain one).

On phones

The template is designed desktop first, the Bricks default, and only changes at the two widths the library uses:

• 991px and below — .fbk-intro.
• 767px and below — .fbk-hero, .fbk-section.

Those changes live in Bricks' own breakpoint fields, so you edit them where you always do: pick the breakpoint in the toolbar and the same fields follow.

Careful with the classes shared by the whole library (fbk-section, fbk-intro, the component classes): a change there shows up in every template that uses them.

If your site's breakpoints are set up mobile first, copy the mobile-first variant of the template instead — see Copy and paste.

Accessibility

In this template, keyboard focus is visible on every interactive piece; movement is cut back when the visitor's system asks for less motion; the state screen readers need is already set (aria-hidden, aria-label).

What is checked on every template, and what depends on your own palette: Accessibility.

Dark mode

This section is dark on purpose (class fbk-section--dark), so it looks the same whether your site is in light or dark mode.

How the library follows your site's color scheme: Dark mode and preview.
