Insert Animate slideshow into Dreamweaver page

[AyrdanDesign]

Hi People.

Firstly, Happy New Year.

Now, I have made a photographic slideshow in Animate.
I have saved it as an HTML Canvas,

I want to put this animated slideshow into a webpage, ready built, and the site is a "RESPONSIVE" site.

Can anyone please guide me to putting this slideshow into my webpage,

Thanks In advance.

Happy 2019!

I think Animate is the totally wrong tool for creating slideshows --  it consumes too much bandwidth and three's too much code.   You'll get better results with less code and less bandwidth if you use JavaScript & CSS based solutions.

Hi Nancy. Thank you.

I have tried "WOW Slider" and I am not very impressed, I have to say.

I have used Flash from when it was with Macromedia, and I like the great freedom you get with creating the animations/transitions, etc.

I have switched to Animate now because of the lack of support for the Flash player.

And Animate has been rejigged to work for HTML5, which I can use for a responsive website....

Is the "bloated code" very severe ?

Does it make for problems with viewing websites ?

Bearing in mind now that people use super fast connections, even with things like "PADs"....

Is this going to be a problem ?

The website is for a Photographic business of mine, and ideally should be looked at on a bigger screen.

In fact, although I have made the website "responsive", I have only made it responsive down to those "PAD" screen sizes...

Anything smaller and it will be a waste of time looking.

Does this make sense to you.

Thank you again, and in advance.

What do your Google Analytics tell you about your web audience?

Run speed & performance tests to see how well your site compares with other sites.

Humans have the attention span of a goldfish.  If your page doesn't load fast, your potential customers are gone in 5 seconds. 

The majority of site visitors today are on mobile devices.  And depending on where they live, that data plan could be slower than molasses in January.  You cannot assume everyone is using the same equipment and connection speeds.  That's like saying everyone drives a Honda at 55 mph.  NOPE.   That's not how the Internet works.

Thank you again Nancy.

Hi Glen,

To Nancy OShea​'s point it does make more sense to use a responsive slideshow, and a lot of publicly available widgets have many options for transitions, comments, etc. Here are a few samples:

W3.CSS Slideshow

slick - the last carousel you'll ever need

Another lightweight slider I use is this one.  And it's compatible with Bootstrap layouts.

JQuery lightSlider

To add to Nancy's list, I use App Connect Slideshow
