Value for money
I have purchased a one trick pony for almost as much - this extension just goes on and on and on - worth every cent, and more.
I used this to: a featured show slider on the home page of a website for a TV Station, and 'Show of the day' and 'Promo video' accordions - so far!

Great Product!

Excellent value!
I used this to: I have announcements for news and a calendar on the homepage of a nonprofit site I manage.
I have worked with Smart Slider 2 component already for a few months and I have to say that this component is the best and most advanced Joomla slider component I have ever seen.

Thanks to the developers!!!
I was looking for a way to display price tables in a cool way and I found this amazing component. I bought the cheapest plan because I thought I could set all by myself and it is actually quite easy to use the extension but I couldn't get it to work on my website. Even though support was not included in my subscription plan i contacted the guys from Nextend and wanted to pay for help. I got reply in minutes time by Gabor. He was really helpful. I gave him access to my site and he explained all the problems abd fixed them even though the problems were not by the component. I am really really impressed with Smart Slider 2 and the wonderful support by their professional team!



Totally recommended!
I've made a lifetime subscription and already the high quality of the product had justified the purchase. The extraordinary, timely and professional assistance of mr. Gabor Racz was a pleasant surprise. He not only answered me within few hours but he also created for me a code to fit a couple of functions I needed but that were not present in Smart Slider 2. This is a product that I recommend to all, not only because of everything I've written above but also for the high code quality, for the high customization and the large compatibilty with the most famous components for Joomla!
I cannot speak highly enough of the support regarding this extension. Great extension that does everything it says it will and Gabor's support is AMAZING.
That is a great component. If you are looking for a reason to unleash your imagination... Here it is !!!

Gabor gives excelent support.
this product give you too many options to create awesome sliders, almost everything you can imagin



and the support is more than awesome, almost instant and they do everything you ask for very very fast.



I totally recommend this product because of the very good support and i created the slides i wanted to create, i looked for other extensions but this one gave me what i needed and more
