Squarespace galleries are a quick and easy way to display images on your website. There are many different ways to style your galleries, and you can even add video and audio files to them. Galleries are a great way to showcase your work, and they can be used for a variety of purposes.
There are two main types of galleries in Squarespace: Standard Galleries and Lightbox Galleries. Standard Galleries are the most common, and they display images in a grid format. Lightbox Galleries display images in a lightbox, which is a pop-up window that allows visitors to view images in full-screen mode.
To create a gallery, you first need to select which type of gallery you’d like to use. Then, you can add images or videos by dragging and dropping them into the gallery area. You can also add captions and descriptions to each image or video.
Once you’ve added all the content you want to include, you can then style your gallery using the various options in the Gallery Settings panel. For example, you can choose how many columns you want your gallery to have, as well as the width of each column. You can also choose the spacing between each image, and whether or not you want your gallery to have a border.
After you’ve styled your gallery, you can then decide how you want it to be displayed on your website. You can choose to have it appear as a pop-up lightbox, or you can embed it into a page or post.
If you embed it, you can choose where on the page or post it will appear. You can also choose whether or not you want the gallery to be responsive, meaning it will adjust its size to fit different screen sizes.
Once you’ve embedded your gallery, it will appear on your website exactly as you’ve designed it. Visitors will be able to click on each image or video to view it in full-screen mode, and they can also click through the images using the arrows that appear on either side of the lightbox.
Galleries are a great way to showcase your work, and they’re easy to create and style in Squarespace. If you have any questions about creating or styling galleries, feel free to reach out to our support team.
