How to Use Image Blocks in PhotoBiz

Adding images throughout your site is a powerful way to showcase your brand, tell your story, and create visual interest for your visitors. Here's how to add and customize image blocks on your PhotoBiz website.

STEP ONE

LOG INTO YOUR ACCOUNT

Log into your PhotoBiz account and click WEBSITE from the menu on the left.

STEP TWO

CHOOSE A PAGE

Click on the name of the page where you’d like to add images—or create a new page.

There are two ways to add an image block:

• Quick Add: Click the Image icon on the right side of the screen. The image block will be added to the bottom of your page.
  
  
• Drag & Drop: Hover over the Image icon, click and hold, then drag it to your preferred spot. Release when a teal line appears. You can always move the block later by dragging it up or down.

STEP THREE

CHOOSE YOUR BLOCK STYLE

You’ll have two options:

• Blank Block: Customize the layout and design from scratch using your global style settings.
  
  
• Pre-designed Block: Choose from professionally styled layouts with custom designs ready to go.

Click the Select button under your preferred image block design.

STEP FOUR

ADD & MANAGE IMAGES

Once the block is added, you’ll be in the Images section where you can upload and organize your photos.

If you selected a pre-designed block, stock images will appear in your layout. You can:

• Keep the stock images
  
  
• Remove them by dragging them to the Delete button

To add your own images, choose one of the following options:

• UPLOAD – Add new images from your device
  
  
• CLIPBOARD – Use images you’ve previously uploaded
  
  
• STOCK IMAGES – Browse royalty-free stock photos

Once your images are added, you’ll see them in the right panel. You can:

• Rearrange images by dragging

• Click on each image to:

  • Add Titles & Descriptions

  • Add Alt Text

  • Link images to other content

STYLING OPTIONS FOR YOUR IMAGE BLOCK

LAST ITEM LINK

Use this to turn the last image in your block into a clickable link or “Load More” feature. This is particular useful if you have many images uploaded OR if you have more images than the number of rows and columns that are available in your page layout and you want visitors to be able to view the additional images. 

Link options include:

• None (no link)

• Load More (displays more images in the same block)

• Standard Link (link to):

  • A different page

  • Form

  • Landing page or campaign

  • PDF or file

  • Phone, email, or map

  • Video (YouTube/Vimeo)

  • Pop-up

You can also customize the button text for this item.
