Hi squarespace expert users! I'm choosing a template for my portfolio site. I'm a sculptor. I want my website to include Lightbox enlargements of my photos (not for the thumbnails on the index page, but for the large scale photos on each “gallery page”. Though, maybe significantly to my question, I’m planning to build these pages from blank templates rather than use real gallery pages because I need to include little bits of text (which I believe isn’t possible in gallery pages). I wanted to use 7.0 (more flexibility and control, recommended by various friends) . HERE’S MY QUESTION THOUGH - if I want to use Lightbox, should I/must I, go for Wexley? My doubt about Wexley is that it doesn’t allow Ajax, which I want. I sort of presumed Brine would allow lightboxes as it is apparently the most feature-rich and flexible 7.0 template, but the advice here https://support.squarespace.com/hc/en-us/articles/205812708 has left me confused. Apart from wanting lightboxes and Ajax I want a super simple clean portfolio site. Any advice hugely appreciated, thanks so much for reading.
Make titles and captions appear under a gallery block, NOT on top of the lightbox images

Hi. I'm trying to change the formatting of the titles and captions in the gallery blocks of the project pages of my artist's portfolio site. It's a 7.1 site.
you can have a look using the password : susan123
Please look at the demo page on the index of thumbnails. The bottom row, on the left, called Gallery Template Page. With a url
/work/gallery-template-page. It's just a practise page.
1. I want BOTH the title and captions to appear under the images as you scroll down the project page. I don't want any text at all to appear on the lightbox- ed images. Is that possible?
2. I'd also like the captions to sit a bit further away from the image than they do now - ideally so they are equidistant between two images. This is because sometimes I want to use them as short statements that tell the developing narrative of the page, rather than referring directly to the image above them.
Any help hugely appreciated, THANK YOU.
