Elements of a Story

A Visuelly story is similar to an Instagram story, but with more powerful capabilities.

  1. Structure of a story: A Visuelly story is composed of Scenes. You can create as many Scenes as you want, but we recommend keeping your stories short with 6 to 7 Scenes to accommodate visitors' shorter attention spans.

  2. Scene layers: Each scene is built from Layers, and there are seven types of Layers you can use.

    • Text Layer: Add text in three different font sizes to your scenes.

    • Graphics Layer: Incorporate emojis, geometric shapes, patterns, blobs, and more.

    • Media Layer: Include images, videos, and documents that you have uploaded.

    • Form Layer: Add HTML form fields such as input boxes, text areas, checkboxes, and radio buttons.

    • Background Layer: Set the background of a scene using colors, images, or gradients.

    • App Layer: Integrate digital wallets like PayPal, Google Pay, Apple Pay, and tools like Calendly.

    • Audio Layer: Use uploaded audio files to annotate your scenes with sound.

While you have the flexibility to add as many Layers as needed, remember that this is a visual medium. Keep scenes uncluttered and avoid overusing text to maintain the visual appeal.
