Best practices

  • Use Dual content for editorial-style layouts that showcase products alongside imagery
  • Use Full width + pulse dots for immersive shopping experiences where customers discover products
  • Keep pulse dots away from edges (at least 5-10% margin) for better usability and visibility
  • Always test dot positions on large screens to ensure proper placement
  • Limit the number of product slides to 3-5 for clarity and to avoid overwhelming users
  • Use high-quality lifestyle images that naturally showcase multiple products
  • Ensure pulse dots are positioned precisely on product locations in the image
  • Test mobile experience as pulse dots are desktop-only
