Introducing WooThumbs 5: The Ultimate Product Image Gallery

An effective product gallery is crucial in helping customers make quick purchasing decisions. Now with WooThumbs 5, increasing conversions with your product gallery is easier than ever.

It’s no secret that your product gallery is one of the most important factors in helping customers buy from you. An effective product gallery should be easy to browse, well-organized, and visually appealing.

But here’s the thing, creating an effective product gallery can be a huge pain. Finding one that does the job well takes time and effort, and it takes even longer to build one yourself. Not to mention the fact that most feature-heavy product galleries slow down your site.

With WooThumbs 5, you can stop worrying about all that! Now it’s easier than ever to create an amazing product gallery that helps you make sales, all without slowing down your WordPress website. 

Curious? Here’s what WooThumbs 5 can do.

Introducing: WooThumbs 5

Your product gallery is what your customers see when deciding whether to buy. It’s where they can take a closer look at your products, see variations, and really decide if your product is a good fit for them or not.

So if your gallery is clunky, hard to use, and doesn’t showcase your product photography well enough, you’ll be missing out on some serious conversions. 

That’s why we’ve developed WooThumbs 5 – to make your product gallery more effective than ever before!

We’re so excited for you to try out this update, and we can’t wait to hear what you think! But don’t take our word for it. See for yourself.

Make your product gallery a conversion machine with WooThumbs 5

It’s time to say goodbye to your clunky, slow, and basic product gallery.

Meet WooThumbs 5!

We know how important it is to fine-tune every aspect of your online store. Most importantly, the product page. So we’ve reworked one of our most popular plugins, WooThumbs for WooCommerce, from the ground up. 

WooThumbs 5 will not only make your WooCommerce product gallery look better, but with some seriously powerful features, it will increase conversions too.

We’re excited to show off what we’ve built and demonstrate how WooThumbs 5 will help you increase sales. So let’s take a closer look.

Take a closer look at WooThumbs 5

Your upgraded product gallery just got a makeover

WooThumbs for WooCommerce has always looked slick, but with WooThumbs 5, we’re taking it to another level.

We’ve redesigned the gallery icons to give your product gallery a clean and modern feel. Fullscreen mode has had an overhaul with better controls, a cleaner display, and the option to add captions. 

Not to mention some of the useability features we’ve added – because we believe customer experience comes first. You can now use your arrow keys to switch between images in the gallery and change the main gallery image while hovering over the thumbnail.

A WooCommerce product gallery that won’t slow down your site

Imagine this: a customer lands on your product page eager to learn more about your product before purchasing. But instead of loading the page immediately, they’re left waiting because your product gallery has slowed your site down.

We know this could be the difference between making a sale and a customer leaving your site. Which is why we’ve built WooThumbs 5 with speed in mind.

WooThumbs 5 will not keep customers waiting. With lazy-loading for images and video, advanced caching, and reduced HTTP requests, this product gallery is lightning-fast. 

Stacked layout for a modern feel

When keeping your site design up to date, your product gallery shouldn’t be left behind.

Ecommerce design trends that help increase conversions are constantly changing, and there’s one change we wanted to include in WooThumbs 5: the stacked gallery layout.

This layout option will allow you to switch your gallery from the traditional slider/carousel style to a stacked one.

Reducing the number of clicks your customer has to make in order to make an informed decision is at the forefront of good ecommerce design. The stacked gallery in WooThumbs 5 delivers just that. 

Instead of clicking through your gallery slider, customers can simply scroll to see all your product images and video.

Assign images to attribute combinations

One of the best features of WooThumbs for WooCommerce is that it allows you to add multiple images for each variation. But in WooThumbs 5, we’re taking it a step further.

In WooThumbs 5, when a customer is looking at a variable product and selects their first attribute, say color, the product gallery image can change without them having to select the secondary attribute too.

This means customers can quickly see what product variations look like with fewer clicks – making for a much smoother and less confusing customer experience.

Better looking product gallery video

WooThumbs for WooCommerce already allows you to add external and uploaded video into your WooCommerce product gallery. But up until now, it has used the video player either from the embed site (YouTube, Vimeo, etc.) or the default WordPress one.

With WooThumbs 5, we’ve added our own video player. One that’s consistent no matter the source. It’s clean, modern, and easy to use – allowing your product videos to shine.

Better yet, you get to decide what video controls are available for your customers to use. Giving you full control over your product gallery.
