Autoplay loop slider

Job photos slide past one by one in an endless loop, with previous / next / pause; it pauses on hover, touch, focus or off screen.

✕ Breaks rule: autoplay carousels Slides leave while people are still reading the caption; it keeps using battery, pulls the eye from the call button, and only the first slide really gets seen (the rest is hidden content).

Best for: Hotel, venue or wedding photo strips where mood matters more than any one photo.
How: Seamless loop with gsap.utils.wrap over the slide positions (no cloned slides), a delayedCall timer, pause button (WCAG 2.2.2). Reduced motion or no JS: a swipeable strip, no autoplay.
