Custom Development:
If you want to avoid the on-going costs associated with apps or you already have a lot of apps installed on your site, consider getting the gallery/lookbook functionality coded into your site. You could Use a jQuery plugin such as Galleria to create your gallery or lookbook. You may need some help from a designer or developer to install this, however, you won't need to pay the on-going monthly app costs use a plugin. You could also have a developer create a custom page layout for your theme that you can use to display your gallery or lookbook photos. This would be a the best option if you have a specific design in mind for your lookbook or gallery page. |
