Welcome everyone! Today, we’re going to create an Image Juxtaposition display using H5P on WordPress. This tool allows you to compare two images side-by-side, where you can reveal differences between two states of an object or location. A great example of this would be showing before and after images of a place, like the transformation of Abu Dhabi over time.
