Drag & Drop Responsive Builder

We were tired of bloated and buggy plugins. That's why we built Soliloquy to adapt to your workflow. By using our easy to use drag and drop builder, you can upload your images, rearrange them.

You can also add slider blocks built for the new WordPress 5.0 Gutenberg block editor.

But don't just take our word. See what one of the WordPress experts are saying:

I used to custom build rotators for every project since I hadn't found a tool with the flexibility I needed. Now I have Soliloquy. It works great out of the box, has an easy-to-use interface, and gives you the power to customize everything with hooks and filters.
Bill Erickson - WordPress Consultant
