As you add content you might want to put a photo in. You can do this by simply clicking to insert, choosing 'Photo' and then selecting a file from your computer. PagePlay does the rest uploading, storing, resizing and optimising your image for the web.
After a few seconds your photo will just appear on your page where you clicked to insert.
With PagePlay, you can either add a photo straight into your content at full size, or you can add a Gallery which shows a 'chocolate box' of photos.
Adding a gallery allows you to add multiple thumbnails of photos which are then presented as a 'chocolate box'. You can roll over the photos to see the title. When you click on a thumbnail, you get a full-size version of the photo with an extended title and description. You can have as many galleries as you like on any page of your site.
Galleries are perfect for showing off several photos relevant to one subject - for example, an event. Whether you choose to have a set page for your gallery or just include it along with content on the subject - the choice is yours.
Gallery is the first new feature of PagePlay we have built as a 'bolt-on'. In order to benefit from Gallery, you will need to add this 'bolt-on' to your subscription package for an additional £4 per month. New features will be offered as bolt-ons when they really change what you are able to do with your site and when they take us a significant amount of time to develop. Through selling new features as bolt-ons, we hope to offer you the site features you need, at the price that's right for you.
The automated processes which take place when you upload a photo are invisible, but really important. We take the image, store its original and then create new versions for the different uses they will have on your site. If your site design ever changes, PagePlay can automatically create new versions of the photos without you needing to give it a second thought.
We're driven by three key aims:
To create the best experience for visitors to your site by ensuring download speeds are optimised and images are displayed correctly.
To reduce the amount of steps you need to take in order to add the photo to your site.
To make sure your site complies with accessibility criteria and is search engine friendly.
