Do's & Dont's

Keep navigation clear on contrast
Carousels rely heavily on their navigation controls to give users an option to see the desired content, instead of waiting for the timed content.

When designing the cards, consider that color contrast must allow this controls to be visible all the time.
Keep CTAs coherent and good quality images
The content on a carousel (as well as in the cards) must be carefully included, tailored and curated. Images must be chosen and adjusted properly in order to keep them appealing and relevant, and buttons must have a clear and concise captioning.
Do not saturate Carousels with Slides
As the carousel will rotate its content, is important to keep in mind that adding too many slides could make it difficult for the user to return over the content and find out what was of his particular interest.

Avoid having more than 10 slides per each carousel, independently of its format.
