An image gallery for your website, picked for your trade.

A photo gallery in a website is a designed section that displays multiple images in a structured layout — grid, masonry, slideshow, before-and-after — instead of a long single-column stack. Galleries make a portfolio, product set, team page or venue tour scannable in seconds and tell a stronger visual story than the same images rendered one-after-another.

On a Zarla site, you describe your business, the AI picks the right gallery layout for your trade and fills it with industry-real photos, and you publish. The whole flow takes under a minute. You don't write code, embed a widget, install a plugin or subscribe to a separate gallery tool — the Gallery block is built in, free to use, and the AI handles layout choice automatically.

The best gallery depends on your trade. Photographers and wedding planners do best with a full-bleed slideshow; restaurants and fine art with masonry; salons and designers with a 3- or 4-column grid; renovators and dentists with before-and-after. Zarla's AI picks the right one for your business automatically — you don't have to guess.

Yes. Building the gallery — generating layouts, uploading photos, previewing on desktop and mobile, switching between the six variants — is free with no credit card. You only pay when you're ready to publish to a real domain — current plans are on the pricing page.

Three differences. (1) Zarla's AI picks the gallery layout for your trade automatically — Wix, Squarespace and Pixieset hand you a picker and a shrug. (2) The premium slideshow (Ken Burns, crossfade, pill dots, progress bar) is the default in Zarla; Wix Pro Gallery is a $300/yr upgrade, Squarespace requires custom CSS or an extension. (3) Zarla's gallery is part of every site at no extra charge — Pixieset costs $96–$300/yr on top of whatever you're paying for your site.

There's no per-gallery photo cap on Zarla. The default Gallery block ships with five slides for the slideshow variant and six tiles for grid/masonry, but you can add or remove items by typing what you want changed ("add a tenth photo", "swap photo three for this new shot"). Practical limit: page-load performance starts to matter past about 50 images, so we'll automatically lazy-load anything below the fold.

Yes, but with two adaptations. Autoplay continues on mobile because the slideshow IS the story for visual-portfolio sites, but the per-slide interval is the same 6s as desktop. Navigation arrows are hidden on touch screens — visitors swipe left/right instead, which is the gesture they already use on Instagram. Pill-shaped dots stay visible for tap navigation.

Yes. Every Gallery layout respects prefers-reduced-motion — visitors with vestibular sensitivities get autoplay disabled, the Ken Burns animation removed, and crossfade replaced with instant slide swap. Captions and alt text are required fields; tab-keyboard navigation works for the slideshow arrows and dots; focus states are visible on every interactive element.

Yes. Layout choice is a presentation decision; your photos live in the schema independently. Type "switch to grid" or "try the masonry layout" in the editor — Zarla swaps the layout and your photos render in the new arrangement. No re-uploading, no re-cropping, no starting over.

Yes — and that matters more than most builders pretend. Every gallery image carries alt text written by AI (which you can edit), proper <img> tags with width/height attributes, lazy-loading hints for the images-below-fold, and the ImageObject structured data Google Image Search uses to rank. For visual-portfolio trades like photography and interior design, image search traffic is a serious lead source.
