Gallery Page

Transcript:

0:01 When you're editing the gallery page, you'll notice that the left side of your screen looks a bit different. On the right, it shows us what the gallery page looks like to site visitors.

0:09 These are the featured images of each of your pieces. When you hover over the piece, their title appears. When you click on a piece, you're brought to its profile image.

0:18 Let's start editing. Click on Photo 1 from the left menu. Then click on these three little dots. then click Settings.

0:30 Remove this sample image, and then click this image button to upload your image. Click on the photo 1 text under title and replace it with the title of your piece.

0:40 Then, under URL slug, delete the last part of this URL and type the title of your piece again.

0:53 You won't be able to remove the word gallery, 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.

1:00 Having a clean link with the title of your piece and the page it's on keeps your site navigation simple and it lets people know exactly where they're heading when they see this URL.

1:11 Now click save. Now we'll edit the profile. 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.

1:26 Instead, we can just pull from our saved sections folder. These are both normal text boxes like the ones we've edited before.

1:33 So go ahead and enter whatever information you'd like about your art. let's edit this inquire button. The purpose of this button is to allow people to easily contact you about a specific piece.

1:44 Click the button and then click this pencil icon. Feel free to change the text if you'd like. Now we're going to link this button to your email.

1:53 Click attach link. Click where it currently says URL and select email. In the to section, type in your email address.

2:03 Then in the subject line, type in the name of this piece. Then click attach link. Now, if someone is interested in a piece, they can contact you about it without leaving this page.

2:16 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 the image block.

2:26 So if you'd like to add a gallery instead, let's click on this image block and delete it. Now click add block and gallery. Now drag this gallery to the area of your choice.

2:41 Add photos to your gallery by double-clicking on it and then click upload media and then upload images. You might want to adjust the size.

3:00 If the formatting still doesn't look quite right, I'll show you how to make some basic edits. Click on the gallery and then click the pencil icon.

3:08 Now click design. Let's click and drag this menu so that we can see the gallery. Since I only have three photos, I'm going to drag this thumbnail per row down to three.

3:20 You can also adjust the padding to add or remove space in between your photos. You can also change the aspect ratio to suit the photos better.

3:32 Now click And exit. Now go ahead and replace the remaining gallery items with your own pieces. If you need to delete some of these templates, click on the three dots next to the title, and then click delete.

3:51 To add your art, click on the plus icon, and then click add blank project. Fill in this info just like you did for your other pieces.

4:03 Now here's where the save sections feature is helpful. Let's click edit, and instead of having to rebuild this section, to look like the others, we can save time by clicking add section, saved sections, Then double click on the section you just saved.

4:23 You can also adjust the order of these pieces by clicking and dragging them.
