Projects
A table for the jobs a business has finished and wants to show: the job's title, its type, a before photo and an after photo, the neighborhood, the date, notes, and which projects to feature and in what order. The business adds a project after each job it is proud of; its website shows them through the Projects section.
Use it when
Use this preset when a business does visible work and wants its website to prove it: pressure washing, painting, landscaping, roofing, cleaning, any trade where a before and an after photo say more than a paragraph. It is the table the Projects section reads. The business comes back to it after every job, and it is site content, like Testimonials: it never takes a place on the business sidebar.
Use something else when
A gallery of unrelated photos with no job behind each one is Gallery's work, not a Projects table. Jobs still in progress, with crews, dates and a status to move, belong in a Job tracker; this table records finished work and runs no process. Reviews and quotes from customers are the Testimonials table. The Projects section shows this table's photos, with a before-and-after slider when you choose it, but never owns them.
How to add a project
- Open Projects, or the name you gave it.
- Press New project. If you renamed the table, the button may say something else.
- Under Title, type the job, such as "House wash, Westchase".
- Pick the Job type. Add the Before and After photos, the Date and your Notes if you have them.
- Press Create project.
You see Project created, and the project is in your list.

Example
Clearwater Pressure Washing, a fictional business, applies this preset and adds three projects: a two-storey house wash in Westchase, a driveway in Carrollwood and a roof in Seminole Heights, each with a before and an after photo from Drive, the date the job was done and a line of notes. It marks the house wash as featured. Its site's Recent work section, placed with the Projects section preset, shows the house wash first and the other two by date.
Limits
The table records finished work only: there is no status column, nothing moves, and nothing is scheduled. The job type is one choice per project; a job that washed the house and the driveway is filed under its main surface and says the rest in Notes. The site shows the first image of Before and the first of After; further images stay in the record. Nothing resizes or pairs the two photos for you: take them from the same spot. Applying the preset twice makes two tables; apply it once and keep adding rows.
