The gallery is often the first thing users see.
Features:
- Main image with zoom on hover
- Thumbnail navigation
- Fullscreen lightbox
- Video support
- ° view (optional)
Implementation considerations:
- Lazy load non-visible images
- Preload next thumbnail on hover
- Responsive images for different devices
- Maintain aspect ratio to prevent layout shift
Mobile: Swipeable gallery instead of thumbnails.
Accessibility: Alt text describing product. Keyboard navigable.
