Reviews

Outstanding!

October 4, 2021
Lightweight, customisable, easy and quick to go, great looking! No any bad practices or annoying notifications like many other freemium competitors. Visual Portfolio is my new #1 gallery solution!

Fast, responsive but a little light on customisation

October 4, 2021
A straightforward plugin that's nice and quick. It works well with responsive layouts and has a lot of options to better fit your theme. The only downside I've found so far is that the customisation options are a little limited if you want to do anything outside of the basic templates (though the templates are good)!

Good Gallery Plugin

September 29, 2021
This is a good gallery plugin and does what I need it to do. I use this for the overview part of my Illustration Gallery. The rollover effects work nicely and I can link the pictures to individual pages with more info which is brilliant. I like the fact that I can build and edit the gallery with the actual page it is going on and don't have to create the gallery separately. I would definitely recommend you give this a go and see if it is for you.
