Content blocks
The content block is a titled panel — image or icon, copy, an optional link and link list — laid out in a grid.
What it is
A content block is a titled panel with an image or icon, a short piece of copy, an optional “view more” link, and an optional list of links. Content blocks sit in a grid, so several line up side by side.
Example
A row of content blocks in a grid.
How to add it
Content blocks live in a grid, so add a grid first:
- Add a Grid and set its item type to Content block.
- Add a content block to the grid, then fill in its title and copy.
- Add more content blocks so they line up in a row; the grid keeps them even.
Configure it
Title
The content block's heading — a few words naming what it links to.
Copy
A short line or two of body text under the title.
Image or icon
A picture at the top of the block, or an icon (turn on “Image is icon” for a small brand icon instead of a full-width image).
View more
An optional link (the whole block links to it). Set the link text and where it goes.
Links
An optional list of links shown in the block — add link items, or a listing that fills itself from a query.
Image position
Show the image Above the content, or hide it.
Tips
Keep the copy short and the titles parallel — content blocks are scanned quickly in a row, so consistent length and tone read best.
Use icons for a set of simple, related links; use images when each item benefits from a distinct picture.
