Photo Gallery: Wix's Slide Deck (Photo Reel)

[3gen]

I don’t know why my designer friend pushed me to go with webflow over wix… WHY is it so hard to have a basic Photo Gallery slideshow feature???

Lightbox is making me upload images one by one and driving me CRAZY!!! Even supposedly crappy platforms like wix have a simple “Slide Deck (Photo Reel)” features that make it easy to upload an entire photo gallery in a jiffy that automatically rotates images.
I have such a photo-gallery heavy site, I ABSOLUTELY NEED a gallery option that does NOT make me upload images ONE-BY-ONE. PLEEEASSEEEE HELP!!!

PS: This is my webflow site: www.lagrandeweddings.com

That sounds surprisingly easy to use.

Yes it is. Now i have a whole site built in webflow and the designer just told me that it’s a LOT harder in webflow since we have to do it one-by-one. Is that TRUE? Is there no better way to do so in webflow???

[samliew (webflowexpert.com)]

Yeah, there isn’t something like that in Webflow, which is why I’m surprised.

Since you work there, can you tell them that someone like me who has 3 friends ready to build sites will NOT build in webflow simply because of the lack of this photo-gallery feature? How LONG till webflow fixes this???

I never said I work there. What gives you the impression that I do?

The users who work at Webflow has a shield icon next to their username (admins).

Hi. I think you can connect it to an CMS integration so that whenever you upload a photo in cms it will show up in a gallery.
Or maybe you can use a third-party option like Zapier

In my experience, even CMS photo gallery integration is quite tedious and manual, especially when there are a lot of photos. On top of that, we need to optimize each photo before uploading instead of being able to do that within Webflow. I hear that Webflow is working on something great for this use case so hopefully it comes soon!
