The UMD Terp Basic Page layout is the catch all layout for any other internal pages of a site (for example: about page, resources, projects, initiatives, etc).

Basic Settings

  • Title: The Title will appear at the top of the page, and is used when automatically generating links for the page. As the title text appears quite large, keep titles short and eye catching, opt to add extra information into the body.
  • Sidebar: title-sidebar field

     

  • Hero Image: Basic pages may include a decorative banner image that appears between the main navigation and the page title. Include a large image of good quality at the top of the site. Learn more about the basic page hero images below.
  • Body: The Body of the Basic page supports the same text formatting options as the text widget, including Normal text, Heading styles 2 through 6, Links, Bold, Italics, Numbered lists, Bulleted lists, Blockquotes, and inline Images.
