How To Use List Blocks in PhotoBiz

The List Block is an adaptable content element in the PhotoBiz Website Builder that allows you to showcase a combination of images, text, and videos in an organized, grid-style format. It’s perfect for highlighting testimonials, showcasing team members, displaying services, or creating call-to-action sections.

STEP ONE

Log into your PhotoBiz account and click on the WEBSITE option in the left side menu.

STEP TWO

Add a List Block to your page:

  • Click on the page where you want to add your content (or create a new one).

  • On the right side of the editor, click and hold the LIST icon, then drag it to your desired spot on the page. Use the teal line as a guide.

  • Release your mouse to drop it into place.

💡 Quick Tip: Clicking the LIST icon once will automatically add the block to the bottom of the page.

STEP THREE

Choose Your Block Style:

You’ll be given two options:

  • Blank Block – Start fresh and design your own layout.

  • Pre-Designed Block – Choose from professionally designed layouts with built-in styles.

Click SELECT under the layout you want to use.

STEP FOUR

Add and Manage List Items

After you add the block, click EDIT LIST to manage your content.

If you chose a pre-designed block, you’ll see stock images and sample content already added. You can:

  • Click to edit each item

  • Replace images with your own

  • Delete any items by dragging them to the delete icon

You can add three types of content:

IMAGE ITEMS

  • Upload an image from your computer, clipboard, or stock library

  • Add a title and description

  • Write alt text for accessibility

  • Add a button linking to a page, form, file, or external site

Example: Showcase testimonials, service categories, or portfolio highlights.

List Item Image Example

List Item Images can appear as on your page with a Title, Description, and Button added. This screen shot is using the Arches layout. 

TEXT ITEM

  • Add content without an image

  • Include a title, description, and optional button

  • Link the button to any destination you like

Click CREATE NOW to add your text item.

VIDEO ITEMS

You have two options for adding videos to your List Block:

Then:

  • Add a Cover Image or use the default video play button.

  • Include a Title, Description, and Alt Text.

  • Add a Button that plays the video in a pop-up window.

Embedded Video Example

Uses an embed code from YouTube or Vimeo.

Uploaded Video

Choose a video you have uploaded directly to your PhotoBiz account.

DELETING ITEMS

To delete a list item, drag it onto the Delete button.

USING THE "LAST ITEM" FEATURE

If not all your items fit within your layout, you can either adjust the number of rows and columns, or use the Last Item feature to control what visitors see next.

Options include:

  • None – Only show items that fit

  • Load More Link – Adds a clickable box that loads more items

  • Standard Link – Adds a button that links to another area

Standard links can go to:

  • External URLs

  • Forms, campaigns, or landing pages

  • Files (PDF, JPG, etc.)

  • Phone numbers, email, or addresses

  • Videos or pop-up messages
