I was able to “create” a new page template called “image-gallery,” but I am afraid it is in name only. What I am trying to do is to create a three column image gallery that doesn’t connect to anything. I’d like when you click on the images for them to just expand. I just created two new pages where I’d like these image galleries to appear. I really don’t want to mess around with collections because I want to save ‘collections’ for other uses in my website at a later date. Is there a simple non-coding way to do this? For instance should I just insert a table?

oh sorry for that issue yes please create new template add your gallery section if not so it can be done some customization code

One option for your consideration: you can easily create an image gallery without coding using Easy Content Builder app (it’s free). The image will go fullscreen when you click on it.

Since the app is 100% free, you can test it to see if it’s a good fit.

Here’s a three-column image gallery created by the app: https://easy-content-builder-demo.myshopify.com/products/clothing (the Gallery is right below the video section).

A side note: you will find other content blocks available for free, too, like Featured products, Image with text, Video, Buttons, etc.
