Plinth

A gallery theme with a strict one-thing-at-a-time rule. Scrolling moves between works rather than through them, so each piece gets a clean introduction.

OVERVIEW

One at a time.

A gallery theme with a strict one-thing-at-a-time rule. Scrolling moves between works rather than through them, so each piece gets a clean introduction.

A grid implicitly ranks work by size. This theme refuses the grid, giving every piece one full screen regardless of how big or small the object actually is.

Movement between pieces is deliberate rather than continuous. The reader arrives at each work rather than passing it, which is closer to how a room of objects is actually seen.

It gave my smallest pieces the same weight as the big ones.

WHAT YOU GET

One work, one screen.

One work per screen

No grid and no ranking by size. Each piece gets the same area regardless of the object it depicts.

Deliberate paging

Scrolling settles on a work rather than sliding past it, with keyboard and touch paths that match.

Scale reference

An optional human-scale indicator so a viewer can tell a maquette from a monument.

Deferred detail

Title, medium and year stay out of the way until the viewer asks for them.

FULL FEATURE LIST

What a single-work layout still needs.

Support for showing objects rather than images, where scale and sequence carry real meaning.

  • One work per viewport
  • Settling scroll between pieces
  • Human-scale reference marker
  • Deferred caption panel
  • Room-sequence ordering
  • Alternate views per work
  • Silent slideshow mode
  • Direct link to any single work
