Step 2: Choose a Template

After signing up, you will be led to the dashboard. You need to choose a template that aligns with the vision for your virtual art gallery. Click on the "Templates" button on the left sidebar. You will see a variety of ready-to-use templates. To get a better view, you can click on each template to preview it. Once you find the one you like, click on it and then click on the "Use this template" button.

Step 3: Customize your Template

Now that you have your template, it is time to customize it and make it your own. Click on the template and it will load up in WeWeb's editor. You will see several customization options on the left sidebar. Here, you can edit the background color or image, text, buttons, sections, and other elements based on your preference.

Step 4: Upload the Artworks

Next, upload the images of the artworks you want to display in your virtual gallery. To do this, click on the "Images" button on the left sidebar of the editor. Click on "Upload" and then select the images from your computer. Once the images are uploaded, you can drag and drop them into the designated sections on the template.

Step 5: Edit the Artwork Descriptions

Every artwork in your gallery needs a description. To edit the descriptions, click on the text box near the artwork space and start typing your description. Make sure the descriptions are engaging and informative to keep your viewers interested.

Step 6: Add 3D or VR Features

To make your art gallery more immersive, consider adding 3D or VR features. From the toolbar, find the "VR" option and enable it. This allows users to view your gallery in a virtual reality environment. If you have 3D models of your artwork, you can also upload these and embed them in your gallery.

Step 7: Preview your Virtual Gallery

Before publishing your virtual art gallery, preview it to ensure that everything looks as planned. Click on the eye icon at the top of the page to enter preview mode. This will give you an exact view of how your gallery will look to visitors.

Step 8: Publish your Virtual Gallery

If you are satisfied with how your gallery looks, click on the "Publish" button at the top right of the editor. Your virtual reality art gallery will now be live for visitors to tour and enjoy.

Step 9: Share Your Gallery

Now that your gallery is published, you can share it with others. WeWeb provides a link to your published gallery, which you can share on social media platforms, email, or through other communication channels.

Step 10: Track Visitor Statistics

Finally, to understand how well your art gallery is doing, you can track visitor statistics. This feature is available on the WeWeb dashboard and shows important info like the number of visitors, the most viewed artworks, and more.
