The Announcement block is a splashy, eye-catching block, used to call out various types of short content.
The Announcements block has the ability to add one or more items in a stack. Each item has an eyebrow, headline / description and button (all can be hidden on the sidebar).
Options:
Layout options (see screenshots below)
One image per item
No images per item, but a big splashy background image
No images at all
Add one or multiple stacked announcements
Hide or show the eyebrow, text area, and button for each announcement.
Control image alignment and reverse the position of the image and content area, per each announcement item.
Small banner at the top of the whole section that can have it's text changed or be turned off entirely.
Best practices:
It's best used on the home page, but can be placed anywhere on your site.
It's best used with images though the option exists to use it without images.
When to use:
Featured events (not part of our standard Events Posts feature, you would set this up manually here).
Feature issues (not part of our standard Issues Posts feature, you would set this up manually here).
Feature news (not part of our standard Issues Posts feature, you would set this up manually here).
Short bio intro blurb, best used with the "background image" layout option.
