Section Layouts

There are 8 different Section Layouts available to build content pages with. We can use as many different types on a page as we want to build a 'tree' of content blocks. These blocks respond to the user's device, so there's no need to create separate desktop and mobile websites - building just one will look good regardless of what the user is accessing it with. Page components and content inside the Section Layouts is displayed in a row on desktop devices (device width more or equal to 992px) and switches to displaying it in a column on mobile devices (device width less than 992px).

One Column

A content block that spans the entire page's width.


Column


One Column with Background Image

A content block that spans the entire page's width, with an image set as the background.
