  • Content Grouping: Each section groups related content together. For example, a "Header" section might contain the website's logo and navigation, while a "Footer" section could hold contact information and links.
  • Visual Layout: Sections also contribute to the visual layout of a webpage. They help define where different elements like text, images, and buttons should go, creating a clear and pleasing arrangement.

Custom Styling

Many elements within Content Templates allow admins to define custom styling as part of the configuration options.

For example, the images below show custom text colour selection options within a Title element. These are listed from Custom 1 to Custom 4.

Defining these custom colours or styling is accomplished with the use of the CSS Override functionality.

For example, this element has the "Custom 1" colour option selected, which has been defined by a section within the CSS Override area:

.has-text-custom-1 {
    color: #f06765 !important;
}


Step-by-step guides to configuring custom styling are included below.

Additional tutorial resources on this topic are planned for the future.
