Every page on your Branch website is built by combining one or more content blocks.
Think of content blocks as building bricks. Rather than typing everything into a single document, pages are assembled using different sections that each serve a purpose. By combining these sections in different ways, you can create pages that are clear, engaging and easy for visitors to navigate.
When creating a new page, it’s helpful to think about the structure of the page before you start adding content. A well-organised page is often easier to read than one containing large amounts of uninterrupted text.
What Are Content Blocks?
A content block is a pre-built section that performs a specific function.
Examples include:
- Text blocks
- Image blocks
- Gallery blocks
- Video blocks
- Contact blocks
- News blocks
- Content and image layouts
Each block has its own settings and can be combined with other blocks to create a complete page.
Adding a New Block
When editing a page:
- Open the page you wish to edit.
- Hover between existing blocks until a blue line and + icon appears OR select the + icon at the top left of the edit page
- Select the + icon.
- Choose the block you’d like to add.
- Complete the block settings.
- Save or update the page.
Before adding lots of content, think about how you’d like the finished page to look. Pages with a mixture of text and images are often more engaging than pages containing only text.
