Templates

Please note: Using templates requires some basic HTML knowledge. If you feel uncomfortable using HTML, we recommend that you either use the Arles Custom HTML Design option instead or use one of the layouts on the example pages.

What are templates?
Templates are an advanced way to maintain total control over your image galleries. You can create your own HTML template files using your favorite HTML editor. Just insert Arles tags where you want the contents generated by Arles to be included.
