Image gallery with preview functionality on hover

It is one of the things I like most when there is a need of designing page with image gallery or template gallery. Providing preview functionality would make users to view the image with little detail instead of clicking and viewing the images and coming back if they don’t like which would take more time. Providing this option, they would be able to take decision by viewing multiple images and filter their selection which is an important for creating user friendly website design. This technique is extremely helpful for websites which list web templates so users can preview the detail designed template jut by mouse hover.

Header banner with sliding images

You might have noticed in many websites which displays promotional offers or want to highlight all their services with different image, they use this technique to display sliding images at header and on mouse hover, it highlight the full detail of specific objects. Different slides can be arranged horizontally or vertically. When there is a need to display all the important services and products at front with use of limited space, beautiful sliding can be good option to go for where design would encourage visitors to have a look at all images presents in slides.
