What I Wish Ecommerce Businesses Knew

Show the Gallery at a Glance

Transparent outlined silhouette illustration for Show the Gallery at a Glance.

A gallery should not hide its depth.

If there are more images, show that clearly.

Thumbnails give customers a map of what is available.

They can see there is a side view. A detail shot. Another color. A lifestyle image.

And they can jump straight to the one they care about.

Without thumbnails, people often have to click arrows blindly or swipe through every image just to discover what is there.

That is unnecessary work.

A visible gallery makes exploration feel intentional instead of random.

Show people the views before making them search for them.

Can customers see and select the other product images without guessing what comes next?
