Why Banner Management Gets Messy
Static CMS HTML heroes break whenever marketing needs a new campaign:
- Dev bottleneck — every slide needs a deploy
- Mobile crops — one image fails both breakpoints
- Theme lock-in — Luma widgets fail on Hyvä
- No structure — timing, arrows, and CTAs are improvised

General Composer install steps for Towering Media modules: Installation guide.
Installation Overview
Step 1: Authenticate Composer
Add your Towering Media credentials to auth.json in the Magento root (same pattern as other Towering Media extensions).
Step 2: Require the package
composer require toweringmedia/module-banner-slider
Step 3: Enable and upgrade
php bin/magento module:enable Toweringmedia_BannerSlider
php bin/magento setup:upgrade
php bin/magento setup:di:compile
php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy -f
php bin/magento cache:flush
Exact module enable name may match your package’s registration.php / module.xml—confirm in the package after install. Production stores should follow your normal deploy process.
