Website pages are what people see when they come to view your photographs. They do not see the internal Dashboard view of your Zenfolio account; instead, they see the Website View with the professionally designed layouts and themes you select for presenting your photographs.
Every gallery, group, collection, and photograph has a visitor page associated with it. If your galleries and collections are organized into groups, groups also have corresponding website pages.
All groups, galleries and collections and their visitor pages in your Zenfolio account are organized under your All Photographs group. This is the top most group encompassing all of your groups, galleries, collections and photographs. The option to rename the All Photographs group is also provided.
The All Photographs group can be found in Dashboard by clicking on the Photos menu item under the main menu at the top of the page.
The website view for each type of the visitor page can be customized separately.
There are eight types of website pages:
Homepage
The galleries and groups are organized under your Homepage for easy access. A Featured Galleries section on your Homepage allows you to showcase select galleries, while a Recently Added section provides easy access to your latest photographs.
Depending on the layout applied to the homepage, your Contact Information can be displayed on Homepage.
The website view of your Homepage can be customized to your liking at any time.
Group pages
Group pages hold other groups and galleries to keep them organized.
Group pages show group description, thumbnails and titles of groups and galleries inside, and any related statistics such as number of galleries/photos inside, date created, etc. You can choose to show or hide these statistics at any time.
See this guide for more details on customizing Groups.
Gallery pages
