Build an Effective Photography Homepage

Arrange Hero, Featured Work, portfolios, film strips, and text sections into a focused introduction to your photography.

What you’ll accomplish

You will create a homepage with a clear opening, a strong edit, and an intentional path into the rest of your work.

Home-page blocks let you create a deliberate sequence instead of placing every portfolio in one uninterrupted wall.
1

Choose one job for the homepage

Decide whether the homepage should introduce your range, lead with one current story, or direct visitors to a few specialties.

A homepage is an edit, not an inventory. Keep the strongest destinations visible and let deeper pages hold the complete work.

2

Start with the Hero

Use one photograph, one video, or a rotating portfolio. Choose Fill frame for an immersive crop or Show full image when the entire composition must remain visible.

Use a short headline and optional story label only when they add context.

3

Add Featured Work

Select a focused portfolio or curated group for Featured Work. Pick the display style that respects the photographs: slideshow, thumbnails, film strip, cover cards, or full-frame grid.

4

Create visual chapters

Use Text blocks to introduce subjects such as Portraits, Landscape, Travel, or Products. Follow each label with a Portfolio grid containing only the relevant destinations.

A Film Strip can create a compact visual transition under the Hero or between larger sections.

5

Reorder, hide, and review

Drag blocks into the intended reading order and use the eye controls to hide anything that is not ready.

Review the full page in Preview. Remove repeated ideas and make sure the most important work appears before a visitor needs to scroll far.
