Product Gallery Dot Navigation

What You'll Create

Replace the default product gallery thumbnails with sleek dot navigation indicators. The gallery becomes cleaner with simple dots that highlight the current image, similar to slideshow pagination.

The Problem It Solves

Product page thumbnail navigation can look cluttered, especially with many product images. When you want a minimal indicator style instead of visible thumbnails, Squarespace doesn't offer this option. This technique transforms thumbnails into stylish dot indicators.

Perfect For

Minimalist product pages, Clean gallery layouts, Modern ecommerce, Fashion products, Lifestyle brands

What Makes This Different

This technique combines CSS to hide thumbnail images and create dot indicators with JavaScript to track the current slide. Dots change color to indicate the active image, and the gallery controls still work normally. Fully customizable dot size and colors.
