When you’re editing the gallery page, you'll notice the left side of your screen looks a bit different. On the right, it shows what the gallery looks like to your site visitors.
0:11
These are the featured images for each one of your pieces. When you hover over the piece, their title appears. Then, when you click on a piece, you're brought to its profile inside the gallery.
0:22
Let's start editing. Click on Artwork 1 from the left menu. Then, click on the three little dots next to the title, and click Settings.
0:33
Delete the image, and then click on the featured image area, where you'll then be able to add a new image from your device.
0:37
After you've selected an image, erase the Title, and write the name of your piece. Then, move down to the URL and write the name of your piece again. You won't be able to remove the word gallery.
0:52
But that's okay, because it's an important part of the link. It points to the part of your site that this item is located on.
0:58
Having a clean link with the title of your piece, and the page it's on, keeps your site navigation simple, and lets people know exactly where they're heading when they see this URL.
1:07
Then, click save. Now, we'll edit the profile. First, we're going to save this section, because when you add more art later on, you don't want to have to rebuild this page every time.
1:23
Instead, we can just pull it out of our saved sections folder. These are just both normal text boxes like the ones you've edited before, so go ahead and enter whatever information you'd like about your art.
1:36
Now, let's edit the inquire button. The purpose of this button is to allow people to easily contact you about a specific piece.
1:44
Click on the button, and then click on this pencil icon. Feel free to change the text if you'd like. Now, we're going to link this button to your email.
1:58
Click attach link. Click where it currently says URL, and select email. In the to section, type in your email address. Then in the subject line, type in the name of this piece.
2:08
And then click attach link. Now, if someone is interested in a piece, they can contact you about it without leaving this page.
2:17
Now go ahead and add that same photo to this image block. If there are multiple photos you'd like to include on this page, the easiest way to do so is to have a small gallery here instead of an image block.
2:28
If you'd like to add a gallery, let's remove this image block by clicking on it and then clicking the trash icon.
2:34
Now click add block and gallery. Let's click and drag it to the spot we want it. let's click this pencil icon and click upload image.
2:50
You might want to adjust the size. If the format still doesn't look right, I'll show you how to make some basic edits.
2:57
Click on the pencil icon and then click design. Let's click and drag this menu so that we can see our gallery. Since I only have three photos, I'm going to drag the number of thumbnails per row down to three.
3:13
You can also adjust how much space is needed. You can also change the aspect ratio to suit the photos better. go ahead and click save and exit.
3:32
And now you can replace the remaining templates with your gallery items. If you need to delete some of these templates, click on the three dots and click delete.
3:48
If you have more art to add, click on the plus icon and then click add blank project. Fill in this info like you did for the other pieces and click save.
4:01
Now here's where the saved sections feature is helpful. Instead of having to rebuild the page to look like the others, click edit, add section, saved sections, then double-click on the template we just saved.
4:18
Now you can plug the information for your new piece here. always remember to click save when you're done. You can also adjust the order that these pieces appear in your gallery by clicking and dragging them.
