layoutit-grid VS slick

These things are worth knowing but for all but the simplest layouts, I still use an interactive design tool to generate the layout.

I'm not making excuses for my ignorance —I use grid daily— it's just easier to visualise and label, well, visually.

There are many online grid generators, but I use https://grid.layoutit.com/

Grid Layout Generator

I used the website https://grid.layoutit.com to generate the grid. Here is a link to my grid in there: https://grid.layoutit.com/?id=LFdpqT3

Since you are using figma you can try to export project as a HTML/CSS. This can be a first approach. On other hand, try to use grid generator e.g https://grid.layoutit.com/ or https://cssgrid-generator.netlify.app/

i would actually suggest just creating a CSS grid - i find it easier than trying to position everything perfectly. you can find easy grid makers by looking up "css grid generator", i use this one a lot: https://grid.layoutit.com/

In the past, I have copied code from Slick Sliders on to the container to generate the animation, but would love to learn how to hand code this myself. I work with WordPress in my company, so alot of PHP is involved as well.

I've tried a few things, like installing vue slick carousel but I'm getting a type error that I can't seem to fix. I looked around and could only find basic carousels, without that perspective and layer-stacking kind of stuff with the center one being on top of the others. Slick slider's center mode (https://kenwheeler.github.io/slick/) is cool, not exactly what I want but the closest at least, but it requires jQuery, which I can't use on that project.

Depending how confident you are with JQuery, and what page builder you’re using, you may be able to set up a Slick Slider or similar around the Cover Block and use multiple Cover Blocks as the slides

Try this => https://kenwheeler.github.io/slick/

Years and years ago I used to use Malsup's jQuery Cycle plugin and then Cycle2 but these now seem long abandoned. I've also used both flexslider and slickslider but I'm wondering if there are better, more modern alternatives I could now be using instead to quickly create sliders or carousels.

If you use the Acquia Product 'Site Studio', the carousel component is just a Slick Slider instance. We've used this in several Drupal projects.

But thanks God, it is now absolutely effortless to create a carousel from many libraries such as Swiper, Slick, Owl Carousel,...

Slick will help you realize the carousel effect. It has a full array of options, works with swipe gestures for mobile devices, and supports other cool features. You can even sync the two carousels if you want to create an overlay effect.
