Creating a Gallery is easy. Just click on Galleries in the upper left corner of Crevado Admin:
NOTE: When you first sign up we create a starter Gallery for you. This Gallery is named My Work but you can rename it (if you want) and also create additional Galleries, in line with your chosen plan limit. Free accounts allow for the creation of 5 Galleries. If you require additional Galleries then you should consider upgrading your account.
To create a new Gallery on your Crevado Portfolio first click on the Create a Gallery button:
From the pop-up, enter a name for your Gallery (e.g. 2020 Work, Landscapes etc.):
Once you’ve created your Gallery, you should upload some images or videos.
