You can add new, delete, or move components on a page.

Delete

In the Page Editor, you can delete a component by clicking on the red 'X' icon.
Note: You are not actually deleting content. That content still exists in the file
tree because you can always bring it back by adding a new component.
Instead, think of it as hiding content from a page.

News / Events

This panel highlights news, upcoming deadlines, or announcements that are date-specific or time-sensitive.
The purpose is to quickly communicate upcoming deadlines and important information for prospective students. There is no need to list out multiple dates, since that information is listed on the linked page.
Keep in mind this is one of the first things a mobile visitor sees. 

Currently used on the Home Page only.

If a "Next Date" does not apply, leave the two text fields at the bottom blank. A single gray box should appear at the bottom (as in the example image to the right) to maintain design consistency.

Intro Paragraph

Introduce the content on a page with an introductory paragraph that highlights what the page is about and useful information that stems from this page. The text is slightly larger than the body copy text because it functions as a visual lead-in to the main content.

 


There are two parts to an Intro Paragraph component:

Subtitle field - Catchy phrase on the main landing pages, and the Page Title on lower-level pages (such as Discover Seattle)

Intro field - The bulk of the intro paragraph.

Body Content

Title field - Used for content headings, marks different sections of content, and allows content to be easily scannable by the reader.

Body Copy field - where paragraphs of text live. Open the text editor to style text in a Microsoft Word-like interface.

  • Bolded text is usually used at the beginning of a bulleted list to summarize main points, which aids in scannability
  • Hyperlinks can be added to text, they will appear as bolded and red automatically.

Table

Display detailed schedule and scholarship information in a table for an optimized, easy-to-read experience that breaks up information appropriately. Handy for long lists with more detailed information where a simple bulleted list doesn't suffice.

Basic structure:

Left column - Money amount, day, time, etc.

Title - Name of Scholarship / Event

Body paragraph - description, useful information, links

Think of this as a two-column table. If more than two columns are needed, consider adding it as another paragraph beneath the body paragraph section. Remember that it all scales down to one column on mobile devices.
