Using the Professional Gallery
The gallery displays photos from your associated installations in a clean format. The focus of the gallery is on the photos themselves, making it well-suited for presentation to clients.
The Professional gallery is our newest and therefore recommended gallery style, and will be the focus of this knowledge base article.
Responsive Design
