I found these three WordPress plugins to be helpful on a site I built; you might, as well. They’re all free, as of this writing.<\/p>\n

Slideshow by Stephan Boonstra<\/a><\/strong>
\nAdd a fancy slideshow to your site. A Slideshows<\/strong> tab will appear, allowing you to edit the listed sets.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Insert Slideshow:<\/em> This option appears in the site editor when this plugin is installed. After creating a slideshow in the Slideshows tab, add it to a page here.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Slideshow Editor<\/strong>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Information<\/em>
\nPaste the shortcode (e.g., \u201c[slideshow_deploy id=\u2019100\u2019]\u201d) into a Web page to display the current slideshow.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Slideshow Style<\/em>
\nChoose between \u201cLight\u201d or \u201cDark\u201d styles.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Slideshow Settings<\/em>
\nChange the options here to alter the slideshow\u2019s transition style, speed, and other settings. Changing the height and width dimensions may affect your Web page layout.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Slideshow List<\/em>
\nChoose \u201cImage slide\u201d, \u201cText slide\u201d, or \u201cVideo slide\u201d to add a slide of the appropriate type. Current settings do not display the title, description, or URL (Web page link).<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Publish<\/strong>
\nSee PAGE EDITOR<\/strong><\/a> for details.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 [Publish]\/[Update]:<\/em> Press the blue button to save and publish all changes.<\/p>\n

vCita Contact
\n<\/strong><\/a>Create a contact box for your site, with a variety of options including full-page form, appointment setting, and more. The plugin\u2019s vCita Contact<\/strong> tab contains settings for your website contact form. It can be added or changed in the admin account\u2019s Widgets<\/strong> section.<\/p>\n

There are three options:
\n\u00a0 Active Engage:<\/em> Pop-up window appears with a contact form.
\nContact Form:<\/em> This can be a Web page sidebar or full-page form. Changing the sidebar placement requires editing the website code.
\n \u00a0\u00a0Sidebar:<\/em> This allows a contact form to be displayed in the sidebar or another area of the website.<\/p>\n

BWS Plugins<\/a>
\n<\/strong>Create website galleries with this plugin. A BWS Plugins<\/strong> tab will appear for you to edit settings.<\/p>\n
