Slideshows can incorporate various elements other then just photos. Slideshows look great on any page! Personally, we love to use them on the homepage or a landing page. Learn more about slideshows here.

Galleries

Additionally, Galleries are a great option for displaying a collection of photos that are fully responsive. Please note that users can click the “stretch” icon to make the galleries full-width. Learn more about galleries here.
