Goal: add an expandable (“collapsible”) image gallery to product pages in the Dawn theme, triggered by a button (like a “Read more” control) to reveal all images. A reference product page link and a screenshot are provided and are central to understanding the desired interaction.
Latest guidance:
Achievable with custom coding in Dawn; one reply suggests hiring a developer to implement it.
Alternative: use Shopify apps (e.g., Easy Portfolio Gallery, Section Factory) to create a collapsible gallery without advanced coding.
Best practices noted: optimize image sizes, test thoroughly across devices, and prioritize user experience.
Status: no code samples or detailed steps were shared, and no implementation decision was recorded. The discussion remains open with two main paths—custom theme development or an app-based solution.
Open questions: which approach the store owner prefers (app vs. custom), desired placement/behavior of the expand control, and mobile performance considerations.

I need some help please. Currently I am building my store and using the ‘Dawn’ theme. For my product pages I want to be able to add in a image gallery where the user can click on a button to expand the gallery rather than having a static gallery that displays all the images at once. An example of this is in the website below where you can click on ‘read more’ in order to view the entire image gallery. Thanks everyone who can help.
To create an expandable image gallery on your Dawn theme product pages, consider using Shopify apps like Easy Portfolio Gallery or Section Factory. Alternatively, you can customize the theme code (advanced), or hire a Shopify expert. Optimize image sizes, test thoroughly, and prioritize user experience.
