How Guests See the Gallery

Guests land on the full-width cover photo with title, subtitle and your logo, and reach the photo grid through “View gallery”. A click opens the lightbox with full screen and swipe gestures; with several sets a button jumps between them.

The way in #

First comes the cover photo across the full width, carrying the gallery title, the subtitle and your name or logo. “View gallery” leads to the photo grid.

What appears there is set under “Display”: logo, subtitle and the set headings can each be switched off.

Photo grid and lightbox #

The photos sit in a mosaic of differently sized tiles rather than a rigid grid. A click opens the lightbox with next and previous, swipe gestures on a phone and real full screen.

With several sets, a floating button jumps straight to a part of the gallery.

Help and info text #

On the first visit a short piece of help can explain what the icons do. It stays available behind the question mark.

Your own info text also appears on the first visit, as a full-page overlay, and can be called up later through the info icon.

Both are switched on and off per gallery under “Display”.

The preview you get as the photographer #

Opening a gallery through the gallery preview shows the same view your guests get. If it is still a draft or has expired, a band at the top says so and offers the way back to managing it.

For an honest look, open the gallery link in a private browser window. Only there do password and visibility work exactly as they do for your guests.
