Project Pages provide a custom gallery layout for portfolios that combines text and images elegantly. This feature is available in nine templates: York, Artesia, Flores, Harris, Jasper, Jones, Lange, Shibori, and Taylor.

Creating a Project Page

  1. Access the Pages panel
  2. Click the + icon to add a Project
  3. Add images/videos with titles and descriptions

Adding Media Content

  • Upload images or videos through the Pages panel

  • Set publication status for each item

Design Customization

  • Enable full-width display for vertical/square images

Caption Management

Image and Video Guidelines

  • Images won't exceed original dimensions

Borderless Images Setup
