Tips to build an image gallery in wordpress
These are some tips that can be very useful if you want to create photo galleries in this content manager:
Choice of images
Although we do not believe it, choosing good images is not something simple, you must consider the quality, the size, the theme that each photo has something to say or something to show.
Use your own images
Many of the wordpress photo Plugins only give you the freedom to choose within an already designed gallery, however many others give you the freedom you want to choose your images.
A very good option to give your personal touch is to use images that are of your own authorship, this way you give an added value to your blog with images that are your own and not the ones we commonly see in all the galleries.
Resolution
Be very careful with the resolution of your photos, too much quality can be transferred in too much weight so it is recommended that you choose a suitable size, not too much or too little quality, the idea is that the image looks perfect on the screen.
Choose the same framing
Before using any of the wordpress photo plugins it is important that the choice of images have the same framing.
By this what we mean is that if you choose horizontal photos that all are horizontal, or if you choose vertical photos that all are vertical because aesthetically it does not look very nice.
Attractive titles
A good way to get people’s attention is when you can create eye-catching titles. In the same way that the descriptions of the photos must be accurate and provide enough information that is useful and also attractive to people viewing the gallery.
