**FlexiFlick Slider** is a sleek, lightweight, and highly customizable WordPress plugin for building stunning hero banners and dynamic content sliders with ease. Powered by the robust Flickity library, FlexiFlick helps you showcase images, featured posts, or products in a professional, responsive layout — all with minimal setup.

💡 Built for both beginners and advanced users, it integrates seamlessly with the Gutenberg editor, giving you a block-based UI to configure autoplay, navigation arrows, animation speed, styles, and more — all without writing a single line of code.
