One of the best things about the minimal theme is its particularly elegant simplicity. However, in one specific area that its simplicity fails to deliver is at the product page; lacking a proper way to present images can be a deal breaker for the pickiest customers. Constantly clicking between thumbnails and then scrolling up to see the new image doesn't feel like the most UX friendly approach.

In this tutorial I'll show you how you can quick and easily add a slideshow to your Minimal theme product page, all it takes is copying and pasting one single code file. You can view the end result clicking here.
