How do I customize the appearance of my client's gallery?

  • Updated

Give your clients a unique experience by customizing how their gallery looks. Include a Gallery Intro Message, change image size and spacing, promote sales with Marketing Banners, and more, all with just a few clicks!

You can customize the gallery appearance in the Branding tab in the Gallery Settings. To get there, go to Galleries > All Galleries > Actions (on the gallery you want to update) > Settings. The photos from the gallery will be used in the live previews of these settings, so you can see exactly what your clients will see in their gallery. 

Intro Page

Here you’ll see options for customizing the Gallery Intro Page. Click to preview the gallery cover photo in the different intro pages. 

Typography & Colors

Choose an existing Theme or make changes here to create a custom theme for this gallery. 

Layout 

Toggle on Use Banner Images on to use the gallery (and album) cover image as a banner across the top of the page once in the gallery (or album). The gif below shows a gallery with a banner image. 

Under Direction, choose if you want your photos to be organized vertically or horizontally. Next, you have options for the size that the photos show in the gallery. This setting does not impact the actual size of your files. Last, you have options for the amount of space that shows between the photos in the gallery. 

Intro Message

At the bottom of the Layout tab, you have the option to set a Gallery Intro Message. This is text or a video that your clients see before they view their images in the gallery. If you enter a text intro message, be sure to add a headline, which will show at the top of the message. 

For a video intro message, enter a headline and then copy and paste the YouTube or Vimeo link. Make sure that the video is set to public in the YouTube or Vimeo settings, or your client won't see able to view it. 

Marketing Banner

You can include a banner across the top of your gallery to promote a special sale or offer. Enter the text here, and include an optional link if you’d like to direct your client to a different page, such as a blog or your website, for more information. 

While there is a slideshow feature in the client gallery, there are no settings to adjust the slideshow that shows in the gallery. It is view-only and your client can watch it by clicking the Slideshow button in the top right of their gallery.
