A Card Slider is a carousel-style layout that organizes information into compact, easy-to-browse cards. It is an effective tool for concisely presenting a collection of items, especially when space is limited. Card sliders can feature images, titles, subtitles, and call-to-action buttons, making your content more visually appealing and interactive.

Note: If you feel that the card slider doesn't offer enough customization options, we recommend using the Slider component instead. It will enable you to unleash your creativity and tailor it to your specific needs.
