How To Use Client Gallery Blocks

How to Showcase Events with the Client Galleries Block

Overview

The Client Galleries Block allows you to display your Client Gallery events directly on your PhotoBiz website. This is a great way to showcase recent sessions, organize galleries by category, and give visitors quick access to client events.

You can fully customize the layout, colors, fonts, spacing, backgrounds, and animations to match your website design. This guide walks you through how to add a Client Galleries Block and configure the available display settings.

STEP ONE

Log into your PhotoBiz account and click WEBSITE in the left-side menu.

This opens your Website Builder where you can manage your website pages and content blocks.

STEP TWO

Open the page where you want to display your Client Galleries Block, or create a new page.

There are two ways to add the Client Galleries Block:

Quick Add:
Click the Client Galleries Block icon on the right side of the Website Builder. The block will automatically be added to the bottom of the page.

Drag and Drop:
Click and hold the Client Galleries Block icon, then drag it to your preferred location on the page. Release the block when the teal placement line appears.

You can reposition the block later at any time by dragging it up or down on the page.

STEP THREE

Choose the style for your Client Galleries Block.

You will see two setup options:

Blank Block
Pre-designed Block

Blank Blocks use your global website styling and allow you to fully customize the design yourself.

Pre-designed Blocks include professionally designed layouts that you can customize after adding the block.

Click the Select button under the layout you want to use.

If you choose a pre-designed layout, sample images may automatically appear in the block. These images can be replaced with your own Client Gallery events after setup.

STEP FOUR

Select the Client Gallery category you want to display in the block.

Inside the SELECT EVENTS section, use the category dropdown menu to choose which event category should appear on the page.

You can also choose whether to display event expiration dates within the block layout.

If you want to display multiple Client Gallery categories on the same page, add an additional Client Galleries Block for each category you want to showcase.

💡 Pro Tip

If you want to show multiple event categories, just add a new Client Gallery Block for each one.

Styling Your Client Gallery Block

You can fully customize how your galleries appear. Here's a breakdown of the available options:

Last Item Link

Want to show more galleries or add a custom call-to-action at the end of your gallery block? Use the Last Item Link!

Choose from:

None – no link appears
Load More Link – lets visitors load more galleries on the same page
Standard Link – links to a different page, file, form, video, or more

You can customize the link text and choose what it connects to:

Another page
External website
File (PDF, image, etc.)
Form
Email Marketing Campaign
Phone number
Email address
Physical address (opens in Google Maps)
Video (YouTube or Vimeo)

Backgrounds

Add a background behind your Client Gallery block:

Choose how the image is displayed:
- Tile – repeats the image
- Top Left – aligns to the top left
- Centered – centers the image

Make your galleries pop with Image Hover Animations:

Pick your animation and hit Save Changes.

Additional Notes

Choosing the Right Layout

Different layouts work better depending on your image style and gallery presentation goals.

Modern layouts display text overlays directly on images.
Editorial layouts place text below the images for a cleaner magazine-style appearance.
Gallery layouts highlight one featured event at a time.

Mobile Display Tips

Clients often view galleries on mobile devices first. Test your layout using the mobile preview options to make sure images and text display clearly on smaller screens.

Using Multiple Categories

If you photograph multiple session types, such as weddings, seniors, and families, consider creating separate Client Galleries Blocks for each category to keep your website organized and easier to browse.

Troubleshooting Event Order Issues

In some cases, events inside the Client Galleries Block may appear out of order on your website even if they look correct inside your Client Galleries dashboard.

This can usually be resolved by refreshing the event order inside the Client Galleries control panel.

To fix this:

Log into your PhotoBiz account and click CLIENT GALLERIES in the left-side menu.
Open the EVENTS section.
Click and drag one event slightly to rearrange the order.
Release the event to save the updated order automatically.

Once the event order is re-saved, the Client Galleries Block on your website will also refresh and display the updated order correctly.
