Hello! I am in the process of building my first website, which will be to display my collection of postcards from my home town. I will have a home page with buttons for various categories of postcards (e.g., churches, streets, bridges, etc.) and then respective pages with pictures of the postcards. I have two questions. First, how can I customize the shape of the buttons on the home page? For example, for the category of churches, I would like to have a button shaped like a church. Second, when posting the pictures of the postcards, I want the user to be able to click on the image of the front of the postcard so that it will rollover for view of the back of the postcard. How can I accomplish this? Thanks in advance for advice offered. I have to admit, this is a lot harder than I thought it would be! David
Hello David,
For the church button, you can find any image you want online and put it in the website, and make it link to the category of churches. An image, vector, button, could all work it depends on whatever suits you.
For the second question there is a number of ways this can be done but they require a bit of knowledge with code.
If you prefer to stay away from code you can try working with the animations that are included in wix: https://www.wix.com/blog/2014/05/new-wix-feature-animations/
Goodluck!
Thanks Majd. Since I would not be good at building even simple code, is it possible to insert thumbnails of the front and back of each postcard (each separately viewable) and when clicking on one or the other, the full size image is displayed (with the default full size image when entering the page being that of the front of the postcard)? If yes, how do I change an uploaded image to a thumbnail? Thanks again, David
Hi Majd, you write. “there is a number of ways this can be done but they require a bit of knowledge with code.”
Can you be more specific?
Has Wix introduced new animations that will accomplish the “flip postcard so the back becomes visible” effect?
Thanks for your help!
Hi @shp ,
For the second question, no, but you can use a Wix App (third party from Wix App Market), or Wix Animations API to do so.
