Jumbo Lightbox

The large image preview (lightbox) for the Event layout now displays images at double the size. Amazing photographs look crisp in detail and are sure to impress your clients and website visitors. We’ve also added support for displaying image titles and description. Images can now also be added to shopping carts directly from the lightbox, or added to favourites. Unique image links has also been added!

Improved Image Loading

When a gallery first loads with the new Event gallery layout, only the images visible to the website visitor at the top of the page will load first. This means pages load faster and visitors no longer need to wait for the entire page of images to load. The images at the top are given priority and gracefully fade in when they are loaded. As the user scrolls down, more and more images are shown using a smooth faded in animation for a very sleek experience.
