The Robust 3-Column page has more options available than a Basic Page. We recommend any new pages on your website be created as a Robust 3-Column page instead of a Basic Page to allow for additional versatility when displaying your content.
What Can Be Used on a Robust 3-Column Page?
Hero Images
You can add up to five full-width Hero Images at the top of the page, but keep in mind: the more photos you add to a page, the longer it takes to load. For this reason, we recommend the hero image generally only be used on landing pages or pages in your top-level navigation.
Accordions
An accordion is a type of section that allows you to add content within collapsible headers—which open and close—on your site. We recommend only using accordions sparingly, as they hide content at first glance to the site visitor; FAQs are a good use case, as there usually is a lot of content that needs to be shared in one page and can be easily glanced through to find the answer a user is looking for.
In most cases, you’ll find that dividing content up with headers will do. In the event you want to use an accordion, keep in mind that they are separate from the rest of your content and have their own WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor when you create them.
External Feeds
External feeds are any feeds like Facebook or Google Calendar where an embed code may be used. External feeds are typically placed within the sidebar of the Robust 3-Column page, but can sometimes be included in the main section of the page as well.
Photo Galleries
Galleries display and cycle through multiple images. Typically, galleries contain images that share a similar theme. You should try to keep your galleries under five images, but may have up to seven. Each image should be no larger than 256kb.
Subfeatures
Subfeatures promote the most important content on your site and should be used to link to other internal pages on your website. They link to the content with a button and are separated into columns. Not all websites initially have the ability to add subfeatures. If you know your website will use subfeatures to link to internal pages and would like them added to your site, please contact us by submitting a help desk ticket to let us know and we will work with you to set this up.
Views
Views display content, such as Biographies, News Articles, or Events, in a listed format that updates automatically based on different parameters. Views are created by web developers and not something website editors can set up by themselves. If you would like a new view created to feature on the website, please contact us by submitting a help desk ticket to let us know and we will work with you to set this up.
Wells
Wells are used as a different styling element to call attention to something important on the page. While these are styled differently, they should be used sparingly throughout the website to help draw users’ eyes to important content. View an example of a Well.
Adding New Content Sections to Your Page
To add a new content section to your page, follow these steps:
- Go to the Edit screen
- Under the Main Content tab, scroll to the bottom of your content
- In the dropdown, select the new content section you would like to add.
- This will add the new section to the bottom of your page
Updating the Order of Content on Your Page
If your page has more than one type of content area, you can rearrange the content by using a Drag and Drop functionality.
While on the Edit screen of your page, click the three-dotted icon at the top right of the tab, select 'Drag and Drop', and then rearrange your sections.
If you would like to update the order of content within a section, such as an Accordion or Subfeature section, click the six-dotted icon to the left of the section title and then drag and drop your content into your preferred order.
You can also delete a content section completely by selecting the Remove button in the top right-hand corner of each content section.
Adding a Page to the Navigation
After creating a page, your next step should be to decide where this content will live in the navigation so users can find it.
All pages on your site should have a place in your navigation. To place the page within the navigation on your site, use the Menu Settings dropdown on the right-hand side of your screen.
