FAQs

The layout of your pro gallery on your mobile site is responsive, meaning it automatically adjusts to fit different screen sizes and devices. You can choose a completely different layout for your pro gallery so that it looks ideal on mobile / tablet.

Select a preset layout with built-in features or a custom layout if you prefer customizing the layout on your own. Whichever layout option you choose, you can always customize the gallery's design.

Custom layouts

These gallery layouts allow you to design and customize your pro gallery from scratch. You can choose from a wide range of customizable layouts to best present your media on mobile devices.
