Blocks are organized by type:

This is a very brief description of each block type with a demonstration of the potential outcome:

Accordion

• This allows for a verticle list of content that will expand when the title is clicked(also closes any currently expanded content).
• Can create new item or use existing item.
• Normally used for FAQ lists.

Example:

Banner

• Allows for a background image for a site banner
• You can also add a Logo image, Heading, Subheading, include a Search Block, and add an image of a Person

Short Banner

• Allows for a background image for a site banner
• Only allows you to add a Heading or Subheading
• This is smaller to take up less real estate for users to start seeing other content easier

Button

• Allows you to create a linked button to a URL
• The title ‘Test Button’ can be removed

Columns

• This block allows up to three columns of either text or media
• Can be new items or existing items

Title can be hidden

Files List

• Allows you to create a ‘List’ or ‘Table’ of links to files

• Files can be Audio, Document, or Image

Table:

Line Separator

Creates a horizontal line to separate content

Link Group

• This has many options and uses
• Allows for manual or automatically generated links in a variety of group options
• Automatic links could be ‘News’ or ‘Articles’ or a list of people, etc.
• Manually add content with links to either relative or absolute paths

Can be displayed as:

• Carousel - Horizontal list of items possibly with a scrolling arrow
• 4 Card Featured - Lists most recent 4 items with the newest being on the left in a larger format, and 3 on the right in a vertical list
• Column Row -
  • Grid 2, 3, or 4 - horizontal rows of items wrapping to a new line after selected number of items are displayed
  • Allows for a link after the group - could be used for a ‘View More’ button
