Looking for a creative way to display images on your website? Make sure you keep on reading because, in this post, we’ll show you how to create a scroll gallery mockup using Divi and its built-in options only. Concretely, we’re going to turn a section into a mockup and have all the rows in the section be part of the mockup. Once you get the technique, you’ll be able to feature any kind of content you want in a mobile mockup and add interaction to your pages in no time.

Add New Section
Sizing
Start by creating a new page or opening an existing one and add a regular section to it. Open the section settings and modify the width and max width in the sizing settings.
- Width: 25vw (Desktop), 60vw (Tablet), 80vw (Phone)
- Max Width: 25vw (Desktop), 60vw (Tablet), 80vw (Phone)
Spacing
Then, go to the spacing settings, remove all default top and bottom padding and add some top and bottom margin to create space.
- Top Margin: 9vw
- Bottom: 9vw
- Top Padding: 0px
- Bottom Padding: 0px
Border
Continue by going to the border settings of the section and create the shape of a mobile mockup by adding ’30px’ to each one of the corners.
Box Shadow
Add a subtle box shadow to allow the shape to come through.
- Box Shadow Blur Strength: 100px
- Shadow Color: rgba(0,0,0,0.18)
Add Row #1
Column Structure
Continue by adding the first row to the section using the following column structure:
Background Color
Without adding any modules yet, open the row settings and change the background color.
- Background Color: #ffffff
Sizing
Then, go to the sizing settings and allow the row to take up the entire width of the section.
- Use Custom Gutter Width: Yes
- Gutter Width: 1
- Width: 100%
- Max Width: 100%
Spacing
Remove the default top and bottom padding next.
- Top Padding: 0px
- Bottom Padding: 0px
Box Shadow
And add a box shadow as well.
- Box Shadow Blur Strength: 80px
- Shadow Color: rgba(0,0,0,0.92)
Z Index
Last but not least, we’re going to make sure the row (and especially its box shadow) overlaps the row that comes next by increasing the Z index in the visibility settings.
Add Text Module to Column
Add H2 Content
The only module we need in this row is a Text Module with some H2 content.
H2 Text Settings
Once you’ve added the H2 copy, go to the H2 text settings and make some changes.
- Heading 2 Font: Abril Fatface
- Heading 2 Text Alignment: Center
- Heading 2 Text Color: #000000
- Heading 2 Text Size: 1.5vw (Desktop), 3.5vw (Tablet), 5vw (Phone)

Add some custom top and bottom margin next.

- Bottom Margin: 1.5vw (Desktop & Tablet), 3.5vw (Phone)
Add Row #2
Column Structure
On to the second row! Here, we’re using the following column structure:
Sizing
Without adding any modules yet, open the row settings and allow the row to take up the entire width of the section. We’re also modifying the height and max height to create a vertical scrolling effect in the upcoming steps.
- Use Custom Gutter Width: Yes
- Gutter Width: 1
- Width: 100%
- Max Width: 100%
- Height: 38vw (Desktop), 100vw (Tablet), 120vw (Phone)

Spacing
Then, go to the spacing settings and remove all default top and bottom padding.
- Top Padding: 0px
- Bottom Padding: 0px
Vertical Overflow
As mentioned before, we’re making this row vertically scrollable. To do that, we’ll need to change the vertical overflow in the visibility settings of the row.
- Vertical Overflow: Scroll
Add Image Module to Column
Upload Image
Go ahead and add a first Image Module to the row and upload an image of your choice. You can download the images we’re using throughout this tutorial by going to the Wedding Planner Layout Pack post.
Sizing
Make sure you enable the ‘Force Fullwidth’ option in the Image Module to ensure a responsive outcome.
Spacing
Go to the spacing settings next and create some space between this and whichever module comes next by adding some bottom margin.
Clone Image Module as Many Times as You Want
Once you’re done modifying the first Image Module, you can clone it up to as many times as you want.
Upload Different Images
Of course, you’ll want to change the image in each one of the duplicates.
Add Row #3
Column Structure
On to the third and last row! We’re using the following column structure:
Background Color
Without adding any modules yet, open the row settings and add a white background color.

- Box Shadow Blur Strength: 80px

Z Index
To make sure this row (and especially its box shadow) overlap the previous row, we’re going to increase the Z index.

Alignment
Then, go to the design tab and change the button alignment.

- CSS Class: image-scrollbar
Open Page Settings
Then, open the row settings.
Style Scrollbar Using CSS
And add the following lines of CSS code to the Custom CSS box in the advanced tab:
