Example Landing Page
Content Types
Content Types are pages tailored for a specific purpose. You are exploring a Landing Page right now. Examples of other Content Types are provided in the Quick Links component on the right.
Landing Page
The Landing Page Content Type is used for the home page and top-level pages in the main menu. Landing Pages contain broad topics and general information. They are used to point visitors to specific, detailed information on lower-level pages of the website.
Landing Pages are versatile, offering the most customization of all the Content Types. If you choose to include a Main Image, it appears behind the page title just above the breadcrumb. This Landing Page does not use a Main Image.
Control Layout with Bands
You control the layout by adding bands. Landing Page bands offer:
- Six different layout options; bands may contain up to four columns of content.
- Ability to change the background color or add a background image.
- Ability to control padding (whitespace) above and below content.
- Ability to control the width of the band and its content.
