The Site Page is the most commonly-used content type on the Digital Commons platform. It's versatile and well-designed to comprehensively present information and include easy navigation to other pages.
A Site Page can optionally include a Main Image at the top of the page. The Main Image will be resized to fit automatically when you upload it. It's also responsive; it will adapt to mobile and desktop screen widths.
The Text Paragraph (this text field) allows formatting such as bold and italic, bullets and numbered lists, and heading styles (Heading 1, Heading 2, etc.).

This collapsing field allows you to organize a lot of information on a single page without excessive scrolling. It's frequently used for FAQs. You may use more than one Tabs/Accordion on a Site Page.
