Strikingly makes it easy to add images and customize your site’s design. You can add images in various sections or set them as backgrounds. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do it:
1. Adding Images in Sections
To add images to your site, you can use the Image & Video sections available in the Site Editor.
- In the Site Editor, click on "Add New Section" on the left side of the screen.
- Under the “Image & Video” category, you will see these options:
- Big Media: Use this section to showcase a large, eye-catching image. It's perfect for displaying a single image that needs to stand out.
- Banner Slider (Pro feature): This section allows you to create a rotating image banner. It’s available to Pro users and is great for adding multiple images in a slideshow format.
- Grid: The Grid section lets you display multiple images in a neat, organized layout.
- Once you’ve selected the section, upload your image(s) and adjust settings as needed. Check more details about our image editor here.
