Description

## Problem

I think one of the features of the old third party page is the ability to see images that represent what a library can do. I think this makes scanning much easier if you are just trying to discover what is out there. For instance this:
![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/10111092/115803678-62f8aa00-a3af-11eb-8734-c990697b5899.png)

is pretty tricky for me to get a sense of what each these really do on a quick scan through if I just wanted to see what is out there.

## Proposed Solution

I understand that there shouldn't be images on the main third party page, but what if when you clicked on the headings it took you to a subpage that included images/gifs?

Or perhaps a button that could be clicked to expand and show an image/gif

Research direction

Review the current third-party page and its heading navigation, then compare the linked image example with the proposed subpage or expandable presentation. Done means a decided design lets visitors scan packages and open their images or GIFs without adding them to the main page.
