How to Create an Album with Beaver Builder?

If you build photography websites or if you have a collection of images, you can display them in an elegant manner with the Album module for Beaver Builder. The Album module for Beaver Builder lets you create a group of images and display a cover image for the album. The cover image has a clickable title and button which opens up in a Lightbox gallery to display all the images.

What is Beaver Builder Album Module?

Beaver Builder Album Module is a creative way of setting up Photo Albums on your WordPress website. While we mostly see the use of Photo gallery, carousels, and sliders on websites, the Album module provides a better way of organizing and displaying the images. Adding a large number of images to a Photo Gallery or Slider can impact the loading time of the page but with Album Module you can do the same without any performance concerns.

How does Album Module Work?

The best real-life example of the Album Module is the Album functionality on your mobile phone. It allows you to group the images into a collection/album, set a cover image and name. When you tap the cover image or name, it displays all the images in the collection/album.

Album Module uses the same approach. You can group all the images and set a cover image, and name. When the user clicks the Cover Image/Name, it displays the collection in a Lightbox Gallery. Click here for Demo.

You can use this module to create multiple albums on a page. For e.g. a wedding website can have galleries for pre-wedding events, wedding day, portraits, etc. A photographer’s website can have albums for various categories like Portraits, Nature, Wildlife, etc. A business website can use the Album module to create albums for Events, Work Culture, Outings, etc.
