Whether you are building a digital portfolio, blog, or website for a small business, incorporating images throughout various pages across the site is essential for creating an engaging user experience.

However, sometimes you just need a page packed chock-full of images that highlight the products, services and other subjects featured on the site. This kind of page is called a gallery page and is commonly found on sites all over the web. 

This blog post unveils the secrets to crafting a captivating gallery page using a website builder. We'll explore why gallery pages are pivotal and guide you through the process, from selecting a template to curating images that resonate with your brand and audience.

Embark on this visual journey with us, and unlock the potential of a gallery page that leaves a lasting impression.





What is a gallery page

Gallery pages are incredibly popular and can be useful to all kinds of small businesses that are looking to convert customers through their website.

For example, let’s say you are creating a website for a house painter. You’d likely build separate pages that discuss the business’s work history, biography, and contact information. But, in order for site visitors to become leads (or even customers), you need to be able to “show” how great the house painter’s services are. A gallery page with large, beautiful images of previous projects will go a long way in moving users through the customer conversion funnel.

Now, let’s take a brief look at what a gallery page for a house painter might look like...

Visitors to the website are able to see the different elements of what the painting service has to offer. The team’s talent, skills, and services are shown, not told.

Providing these visual representations of what the business can do helps visitors imagine how the house painter’s services could benefit them and makes it more likely they will engage with the business.

How to Create a Gallery Page 



So, how do you create a gallery page? Good question. One can utilize both easy-to-use web design platforms like Duda, Wix or Squarespace. These services offer templates that can serve as the foundation of your gallery page. These templates are highly customizable to fit the theme of your chosen website.

But, how do you make a template into a gallery? Most website building platforms today have image libraries that allow you to easily drag and drop fantastic photos and other images onto a web page. Plus, Google images has millions of images that can be downloaded and uploaded to a template (just be sure not to violate any copyrights). But, if you are building a site for a business that requires you to showcase a unique talent like cutting hair...

...it’s wise to grab a camera and capture your own images of the business and its customers in action.


From the examples provided above, one can see that while the images may be different from one to another, they showcase a similar theme. The hair salon image gallery displays a variety of different hairstyles that demonstrate the website owner’s talent for cosmetology. In the photography website, the image gallery showcases very different photo subjects, but the main theme of the site is the owner’s photography skills. 




Asking the right questions

Creating a beautiful image gallery, whether from scratch or a template, can seem intimidating to those who are building a website for the first time, but it doesn’t have to be.

To make the job of creating your gallery page a little easier, ask yourself these questions when selecting images to include:

  • Does the image communicate the value of the business in a compelling way?
  • Does the image match the overall theme and branding of the website? 
  • Do you have images that represent all of the products and services the business offers?
  • Will your chosen images turn visitors to the site into leads? 
  • Are you including images of different sizes or keeping them uniform?
  • Do your images resonate with your demographic audience?
  • Do your images build trust with your site visitors?

These are just some of the questions to ponder that will help novice and established content creators alike create a visually appealing gallery page that helps turn leads into paying customers.


Summing Up

Almost every business website under the sun can benefit heavily from a well-designed gallery page filled with beautiful images that communicate value to potential customers. However, there really is no right or wrong way to layout a gallery page. What works best will be unique to each business.

But no matter the design, just be sure to choose high-quality, eye-catching images that you think will connect with site visitors. After all, if an image is worth a thousand words, then a beautiful gallery page should be worth a whole lot more than that.

Learn how platform ecosystems drive revenue and why they are essential for the growth of SaaS businesses.

One of the greatest challenges for SaaS platforms is keeping users engaged long-term. The term “stickiness” refers to a product's ability to retain users and make them want to return. In the context of SaaS platforms, creating a sticky product means that users consistently find value, experience seamless interactions, and continue using the product over time. The following are 7 practical strategies you can take to improve the stickiness of your SaaS solution. 1. Offer websites that help customers build their digital presence One of the most effective ways to make your SaaS platform sticky is by offering websites to your users. Many businesses today need an online presence, and by providing a platform where your customers can easily build and manage their websites, you increase their reliance on your product. When you offer users a website-building solution, you’re helping them create something foundational to their business. Websites, in this case, aren’t just a tool—they become a part of their identity and brand. This deepens their engagement with your platform, as they need your product to maintain and update their site, ultimately making them less likely to churn. Plus, websites naturally encourage frequent updates, content creation, and customer interactions, which means your users will return to your platform regularly. When you can give your users the tools to create something so essential to their business, you make them more dependent on your platform. This creates a higher barrier to exit, as migrating a fully built website to another service is no small task. In fact, websites are some of the stickiest products you can sell, so adding them to your product portfolio can be one of the best decisions you can to keep your customers using your technology for the long haul. 2. Deliver continuous value through product innovation The key to keeping users coming back to your SaaS platform is ensuring that they consistently see value in it. This means not only meeting their immediate needs but also evolving to address their growing demands. Constant product innovation is essential for keeping your users satisfied and invested in your platform. One way to achieve this is through regular updates that add new features or improvements based on user feedback. A SaaS platform that evolves with its users will keep them engaged longer, making it harder for competitors to steal their attention. Encourage user feedback and prioritize updates that create tangible improvements. This creates an ongoing relationship with your users, which boosts stickiness. 3. Offer a multi-product solution Another powerful way to increase your platform’s stickiness is by offering a suite of products or features that integrate well together. When your users adopt multiple products, they are more likely to stay because they become embedded in your ecosystem. The benefits of this strategy are clear. Research shows that once users adopt more than one product, especially when they integrate >4 tools into their workflow, their likelihood of churn decreases significantly. This happens because the more a user integrates into your suite of products, the harder it is for them to switch to a competitor. These users have invested time in learning your ecosystem and rely on it for their day-to-day operations, making it much harder for them to make the switch. 4. Create a personal connection with your users Human connection is one of the most powerful drivers of user retention. People don’t want to feel like they’re using a cold, faceless platform. By offering exceptional customer support, personalized communication, and community engagement, you build a relationship with your users that goes beyond the product itself. Make sure your support team is responsive, knowledgeable, and empathetic. You can also consider offering tailored onboarding experiences to ensure users understand how to make the most of your platform. When users feel like their success matters to you, they are more likely to remain loyal. 5. Leverage data to personalize the user experience Using data to drive personalization is another strategy that can significantly increase the stickiness of your platform. By tracking user behavior and usage patterns, you can tailor the experience to each individual user’s needs. This could mean recommending features they haven’t yet explored or sending them reminders about tools they may not be fully utilizing. Personalization gives users the feeling that the platform was designed specifically for them, making it harder to walk away from. By demonstrating that you understand their unique needs, you can build a stronger connection and ultimately increase retention rates. 6. Focus on seamless integrations and API capabilities To further increase stickiness, consider expanding your product’s ability to integrate with other tools your users already rely on. Whether it’s email marketing software, CRM systems, or social media management tools, seamless integrations add tremendous value by making it easier for users to incorporate your platform into their existing workflows. The more your product can work in tandem with other popular tools, the more indispensable it becomes. In fact, users who depend on integrations are less likely to churn since their entire ecosystem is tied to your platform’s functionality. 7. Encourage user advocacy and community building User advocacy is another powerful tool in building a sticky product. When users feel a sense of community or even ownership over the platform, they become your most passionate promoters. Encourage your users to share their success stories, join community forums, or contribute to product development through beta testing or feedback loops. A thriving user community not only increases user engagement but also creates a sense of loyalty. When users are part of something larger than themselves, they are more likely to remain committed to your platform, reducing churn and increasing lifetime value. Create deep, lasting customer relationships Making your SaaS platform sticky is all about creating a deep, lasting connection with your users. This requires building a platform that continuously delivers value, creating a seamless and personalized experience, and integrating features that keep users coming back. By focusing on product innovation, offering a multi-product ecosystem, and fostering strong user relationships, you’ll be well on your way to reducing churn and boosting user retention. Stickiness isn’t just a nice-to-have; it’s essential for long-term success. Focus on creating a platform that users can’t imagine living without, and you’ll see them stick around for the long haul.
