  • Enable overflow for a modern, editorial look that hints at more content
  • Use consistent collection images across all cards for professional appearance
  • Consider card layout based on content type (Collection for images, Product for actual products, Text for category navigation)
  • Test slideshow navigation on mobile devices to ensure smooth interaction
