No Added Styling Block
This block has no styling at all and can be used for your sites head and body content or you can use it to display content on your site with your own styling. Using this block to display your content requires some skill with CSS and HTML.
| Fields | Usage | Input |
|---|---|---|
| Content | The text content | Plain Text, Markdown, HTML |
Text Block
Text blocks can be used for much more than just displaying text. You can add HTML and CSS to the content to produce web-to-lead and web-to-case forms along with tables and a whole lot more using Markdown or HTML.
| Fields | Usage | Input |
|---|---|---|
| Title | H1 heading for block | Plain Text |
| Subtitle | Medium sized subtitle for block | Plain Text |
| Content | The main text content | Plain Text, Markdown, HTML |
Single Image Block
This block displays a single image using an HTML <img> tag.
| Field | Usage | Input |
|---|---|---|
| Image | The image for the block | Lookup to Media records with the file type of Image |
| Link Target | If provided, the image becomes a clickable link | URL |
| Link Label | If provided and is a clickable link, the link’s tooltip will be set to the provided value | Plain Text |
Image with Text Overlay Block
The purpose of this block is to provide a large, full-width background image with some simple content and a call to action button. The background image is given a CSS filter to reduce its brightness so to allow the text and button to show better against it. The image is all aligned to the left and is cropped or stretched to the full width of the block. The default position of the text and button is centre of the block but can be moved to the left or right edge. The text and button remain justified to the left regardless of alignment.
| Field | Usage | Input | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Alignment | Defines how the text and button are aligned in the block | Picklist | Centre, Left, Right |
| Image | The background image for the block | Lookup to Media records with the file type of Image |
|
| Link Label | If provided, displays as a call to action button | Plain Text | |
| Link Target | If provided, gives the button a target URL | URL | |
| Title | H2 heading for block | Plain Text | |
| Subtitle | Medium sized subtitle for block | Plain Text | |
| Content | Main text content | Plain Text, Markdown, HTML |
Tip: Use a suitable background image to allow for cropping. Images wider that the block will be centred and cropped, and smaller images will be stretched to fit the width of the page. The block will be narrower on smaller screens so your image will be cropped further.
Image Beside Text Block
This block allows you to easily provide some text to the left or right of an image. The default is for the image to display on the left, but you can use the Left and Right Alignment values to move it to either side. Despite the Alignment setting, the image will always appear on top of the text when on a small screen.
| Field | Usage | Input | Available Options |
|---|---|---|---|
| Alignment | Defines how the content is aligned in the block | Picklist | Left, Right |
| Image | The image for the block | Lookup to Media records with the file type of Image |
|
| Link Label | If provided, displays as a call to action link | Plain Text | |
| Link Target | If provided, gives the link a target URL | URL | |
| Title | H2 heading for the block | Plain Text | |
| Subtitle | Medium sized subtitle for block | Plain Text | |
| Content | Main text content | Plain Text, Markdown, HTML |
Tip: Keep your image width around 640px or less. If it is too wide, there will be no room for the text content
Slideshow Block

Slideshow - Create the Content blocks you wish to be included in the slideshow

Media Reference Block
This block is used to present a link to a document or file with the option of text content displaying below it. The link text comes from the name of the media record you are referencing.
