How to Create Slideshows
By Declan · Updated May 2026
Build an interactive image gallery inside a SendSite proposal so clients can flip through property photos and venue spaces without the page jumping between slides.
Slideshows let you showcase multiple property photos or venue spaces inside a single image placeholder. With a uniform crop applied, clients can click through the gallery without the page shifting around — the polished, on-brand experience that’s hard to pull off in a traditional word processor.
Open the image you want to convert
While in edit mode, click the primary or placeholder image inside the section you want to build out. The image toolbar will appear with your asset options.
Switch the display to Slideshow
Click the wrench icon on the image toolbar to open the display settings. Choose Slideshow.
You’ll also see options for Zoom (single-image expansion) and Link (redirect the image to an external page) — leave those for other use cases.
Add the rest of your images
Drop in additional images from your company library or upload new files to build out the gallery queue. The order you add them is the order clients will click through.
Apply a uniform crop
Open the built-in crop tool on the image interface and select a standardized ratio — a landscape crop works well for property and venue photography. Adjust the framing box on each image so the focal point stays centered.
Skip this step and your slideshow will visibly jump up and down as the client clicks through, because each image will render at its own native aspect ratio. The crop lock is what keeps the carousel feeling fluid.
Save and preview
Save the section and click through the live slideshow to confirm every image lands in the same frame. SendSites handles compression and scaling on the back end, so the gallery will load quickly on both mobile and desktop without any manual resizing.
For venue galleries, pick one focal element — a tablescape, a ballroom entrance, an oceanfront balcony — and recenter each crop on a similar element. The result feels intentional rather than like a stock photo dump.
What success looks like
A finished slideshow holds its position on the page as the client advances through each slide. The images are visually consistent in size and framing, load instantly on a phone, and let the property’s spaces do the talking without any layout distractions.
