• You will enter the gallery's editing mode, where you can upload images, organize them, and configure the gallery settings.

8. Uploading Images

• Click on the "Add Images" button.
• You can upload images from your computer, select from previously uploaded content, or import from external sources like your social media accounts or cloud storage.

9. Organizing Images

• Once images are uploaded, you can rearrange them by dragging and dropping.
• Use the options available to add captions, modify image descriptions, or change the position of images within the gallery.

10. Configuring Gallery Settings

• Click on the Settings icon (often depicted as a gear).
• You can modify the gallery layout, transition effects, page title, URL slug, and more. This helps ensure the gallery aligns with your overall site design.

11. Publishing the Gallery Page

• Once satisfied with the gallery settings and image arrangement, make sure to save your changes.
• Ensure the Gallery Page is active and visible in your site’s navigation, or set it as a non-linked page if you prefer.

Important Considerations:

• Template Limitations: Depending on the Squarespace template you are using, there might be specific limitations or additional features available for gallery pages. Ensure that your template supports the gallery style you want.
• SEO Settings: Don't forget to configure SEO settings for your gallery page by going into the SEO tab under settings to ensure your images and page are optimized for search engines.
• Image Optimization: For faster loading times, ensure your images are optimized (i.e., resized and compressed) before uploading them to the gallery.
• Mobile Responsiveness: Check how the gallery appears on various devices (desktop, tablet, mobile) to ensure a consistent experience for all users.
