PhotoSpread is a component that turns a handful of images into an interactive fold gallery for Rapidweaver Elements. Add three to six images and PhotoSpread arranges them as narrow panels side by side. Hover on desktop or tap on mobile, and the chosen panel expands to fill the space while the rest tuck neatly aside – no lightbox plugin, no slider script, no extra JavaScript to wire up.
Every panel can hold more than just a photo. Drop a Container, Text, Button, or any other Elements component into a panel, and it unfolds together with the image the moment that panel is active – a caption, a price, a call-to-action button, whatever the panel needs. It's built for portfolios, product lines, room galleries, menus – anywhere a handful of images deserve more than a static row of thumbnails.
Every detail is built to fit your design rather than fight it. Borders, colors and the overlay behind your text come straight from your theme and follow light and dark mode. Choose Horizontal or Vertical folding, and switch between them per breakpoint so panels sit side by side on a wide screen and stack on a phone.
Fine-tune the fold itself – duration, easing, even a custom cubic-bezier curve – and set a second border color that lights up only on the panel that's currently open. Built natively for Rapidweaver Elements, everything is configured visually in the inspector – no HTML, JavaScript or CSS to write.
