Create a seamless browsing experience with the Synced Thumbnail Carousel. This high-end gallery widget features a large "Hero" stage for displaying detailed imagery, paired with a synchronized thumbnail strip for easy navigation. This dual-view approach is a staple of luxury e-commerce, real estate, and photography portfolios, allowing users to appreciate the fine details while maintaining context of the larger collection.
The interaction is fully bi-directional: clicking a thumbnail updates the main view, and using the main navigation arrows automatically scrolls and highlights the corresponding thumbnail. Transitions on the main stage use a smooth cross-fade combined with a subtle zoom, creating a polished, cinematic feel. The layout is responsive, with the thumbnail strip becoming scrollable on mobile devices to preserve screen real estate.
Bring this layout to life on your website in just a few clicks.
Edit visually using the extension or native blocks
First, ensure you have pasted the global Redesignee connector script into your site's Code Injection settings. Once connected, you have two easy ways to build:
Native Block: Simply add the native Redesignee Widget Block directly from the fluid engine editor menu inside Squarespace.
Manual Markdown: Add a standard Markdown Block, paste your widget’s code snippet, and the Redesignee floating "Customize" button will automatically appear right over the block.
Both methods let you tweak settings, copy items, and design visually in real time. Saving your changes syncs the updates instantly to your live page.
See Squarespace installation guide
Connect natively via Gutenberg or Elementor
Make sure you have the free Redesignee WordPress Plugin installed. If you are using Elementor, simply drag and drop the Redesignee widget from your sidebar. If you are using the Gutenberg Block Editor, click the " + " icon and select the Redesignee Block. Launch the Cloud Library directly inside your workspace, choose your customized template, and import it with a single click. It automatically inherits your theme fonts and styles!
