Using a full-screen Gallery Slideshow on your homepage is a powerful way to make a bold first impression. But many Squarespace 7.1 users struggle to control the placement and style of captions.

Fullscreen slideshow galleries are stunning on a desktop, but on a phone, they can cause more harm than good. Rather than inviting users in, large galleries bury content well below the fold, slow navigation to a crawl, and render captions unreadable at times.

Image carousels (also called sliders) are a classic approach for adding multiple images to a page in a small amount of space. ​Whether you’re showcasing products, developing a portfolio, or adding some narrative material to a site

In Squarespace 7.1, Gallery Grid blocks will typically show images across the page edge to edge and in full-width layouts. As bold as this aesthetic is, it can sometimes become constraining and claustrophobic, namely on a desktop.
