Content
The meat and potatoes, heart and soul, sum and substance of a site. This is where you put your stuff! Choose from several content types to establish page layout and accommodate a wide variety of material such as text, images, videos, tables, slideshows, news feeds, calendars, link lists, and so much more.
Can I use more than one content type on a page?
Yes! You can add multiple content types per page and rearrange them as you see fit.
Page layout is highly configurable; you could start with a paragraph of text, transition to a grid, throw in a wide open space, and end with a slideshow. However, we do recommend against using too many content areas on a page as more stuff = greater load time.
