  • For Photo type:
    • Background image
      • Make sure the image is high-quality and at least 2400px wide.
      • The subject should be vertically centered in the image to avoid important features getting cropped out. You may need to request a different crop of the image from a designer.
      • The content will display on top of the image for desktop and tablet screens, but will drop below the image for mobile. (see screenshots above)
    • Display a different image for mobile? Toggle to Yes if you want to select a different image to display for mobile screens
      • See example of a full-width background block that displays a different image on mobile.

  • For Pattern types:  
    • Choose between a Gray, Blue or Red background. 
    • The content will display on top of the pattern for all screen sizes. (see screenshots above)
• Add parallax effect?
  • Creates a special type of scrolling effect, where the background image moves slower than the foreground objects.
    • See example with a background photo.
  • Note: This effect is removed for users who have turned on an OS setting to reduce motion. Learn more about reduced motion and accessibility.

Text Content (Non-stat layout)

Title

Link

Custom Content

• A WYSIWYG field for adding paragraph text or other custom content  
  • Keep copy short, up to 50 words
  • This content will be placed in a <div> with the "lead" class. This class will only affect paragraph elements (it will make the font size larger to ensure content is legible)

Text Content (Stat layout)

Title

• Add your text.
• You can add <b> </b> tags around the portion of the title you'd like bolded, and it will style automatically.
