Not only is this a neat and useful way of displaying an image gallery, but it also allows you to take your visitors on a journey, telling the story of your project, highlighting progress over time or showing off a series of images from an event. It adds a splash of colour to your page and helps you keep your images organized in a compact, easy to use tool.
