(note this is sped up 30% but if you'd like the original that's here on Loom)
Using Blocks to Build Pages
- Dynamic Content: Blocks function like Lego pieces, allowing you to build pages by stacking and arranging different content types.
- Block Options: Add blocks such as text, images, signposts, or horizontal scrolling panels to your pages.
- Reordering Blocks: Drag and drop blocks to rearrange their order on the page.
- Publishing Changes: Once blocks are arranged, click "Publish" to update the page instantly.
Adding Blocks to Different Page Types
- Standard Pages: Insert blocks below the hero section to enhance page content.
- Event Listings: Add blocks below the hero section to provide dynamic content for each event.
- News Listings: Use blocks to bring additional elements like images, text, or themed panels to blog posts and news stories.
Introducing Block Themes
- What are Block Themes? Block themes are pre-set styles that control the appearance of individual blocks.
- Theme Options: Themes vary based on your package and can include options like default, light, or dark themes.
- Applying Themes:
- Hover over the block and click the cog icon.
- Select a theme from the list (e.g., "Dark Theme") and click "Submit" and "Publish."
- Accessibility and Legibility: Themes are designed to meet accessibility standards, ensuring consistent design without the need for manual adjustments.
Custom Block Themes
- Theming for Specific Pages: Use block themes to tailor content for seasonal campaigns, such as a Christmas-themed homepage.
- Adding New Themes: Contact the LOOP team to add custom themes for specific needs like textures, masks, or other design elements.
Enhancing Your Content
Blocks and block themes enable you to create visually appealing and functional pages while maintaining brand consistency. Whether you're enhancing a homepage, event listing, or blog post, the flexibility of blocks ensures your content remains engaging and aligned with your brand.
