Hi Graham,

1. If you will use your image slider only on one page, the best way to do slider is to use Archetype at backend I think.

Do you know Archetype?

Archetype is an Umbraco 7 property editor that wraps other installed property editors. By wrapping the other properties, Archetype allows for custom and repeatable fieldset mashups.

Download at - https://our.umbraco.org/projects/backoffice-extensions/archetype

1. When Archetype is installed, next step is to create custom Datatype, look documentation how to create custom datatype - https://our.umbraco.org/documentation/getting-started/data/data-types/#creating-a-new-data-type, use Archetype as property editor and add all fields what you want for slider. For example - image(media picker), header(textstring), description(textarea)

2. Add new datatype to the home page doctype

3. Add content to home page Slider property

4. Render data in razor, look how to render archetype properties at - https://gist.github.com/kgiszewski/8863822

Hope it will help you, ask ask ask if something isn't clear.

Thanks,

Alex
