Overview
The Hover Gallery transforms static image displays into interactive experiences:
Hover-Based Interaction: Images animate to full width when visitors hover over them
No Clicking Required: Eliminates the need for navigation arrows or manual clicking
Modern Visual Experience: Creates engaging, fluid transitions between images
Effortless Exploration: Allows visitors to browse visual content intuitively
Adding a Hover Gallery
To implement a Hover Gallery in your Vev project:
Access the components panel in Vev
Locate and select the Hover Gallery component
Drag the component onto your canvas
Position it within your desired layout section
Configuring the Hover Gallery
Double-click the Hover Gallery component on your canvas to access these configuration options:
Image Settings
Gallery Image: Select and upload the image for each gallery item
Image Title: Add descriptive titles for each gallery image
Add More Images: Use the (+) icon to include additional images in your gallery
Best Practices for Optimal Performance
Image Quantity Guidelines
Minimum: Include at least two images to create the hover effect
Maximum: Use no more than seven images for optimal performance
Mobile Consideration: The hover effect will not trigger on mobile devices if you exceed seven images
Responsive Design Strategy
The Hover Gallery component requires specific handling for responsive design:
Create Multiple Instances: Build separate Hover Gallery components for each breakpoint (desktop, tablet, mobile)
Visibility Control: Use Vev's visibility settings to hide/show the appropriate component for each screen size
Breakpoint Management: Configure each Hover Gallery instance to display optimally at its target breakpoint
Implementation Steps for Responsive Design
To ensure your Hover Gallery works across all devices:
Create your primary Hover Gallery for desktop view
Duplicate the component and adjust it for tablet breakpoints
Create a third version optimized for mobile breakpoints
Use the visibility controls to:
Show desktop version on large screens
Show tablet version on medium screens
Show mobile version on small screens
Test each breakpoint to ensure proper display
