Templates 

Add a template to your page

    1. Place your cursor in a new line/paragraph where you want your template to appear.
    2. Go “Insert template” (the Rubber Stamp icon).
    3. Select the type of template your require.
    4. SAVE. You should see your template in the text editor.
    5. Fill in the areas and remove instructions with your content.
    6.  SAVE PAGE

 

TAKE NOTE when adding content to templates

Template code can be easy to miss or accidentally delete, which is why layouts can break. This is especially common when open/close containers are already in place, as positioning the cursor correctly can be tricky.

Before editing, click Toggle hidden elements to view the layout structure. This will show formatting guides (dotted lines, small text blocks, etc.). These may look misaligned in edit mode but will display correctly on the live site.

HELPFUL HINT
   To place your cursor accurately:

  1. Open the Source Code Editor (<>)
  2. Locate where new content should go.
  3. On a new line, type xxxxx so it’s easy to spot.
  4. Exit Source Code and highlight xxxxx.
  5. Add your new content and SAVE.

 

Different types of templates

    • Container – keeps things tidy
    • Row – lines things up
    • Column – splits the space
    • Content – what the user actually sees

    Containers

    Content Container

    Use this to keep text and images neat and centred.
    It stops content from getting too wide on large screens.
    You can use it on its own, or put other layout blocks inside it.

    Use when: You’re adding normal page content and want it to look tidy.


    Row (for columns)

    Use this only if you want content side-by-side (columns).
    Add one row, then add column blocks inside it.

    Important:
    Don’t use this if you’re using a column block that already creates its own layout.


    Single Columns

    Creates one full-width column within the layout. The content fills the available space. Add more if required.

    The column/s width will adjust automatically depending on the layout.

    Use when: You want content to span the full width of the section, like headings, text blocks, or images.


    Link with Popup

    Modal / Popup

    Use this to show content in a popup window.
    The popup opens when the user clicks a button or link.

    Use when: You want extra information without cluttering the page.

    See how the pop up works.


    Columns

    The page is built using an invisible 12-column grid.Each row is divided into 12 equal parts, and your columns must always add up to 12.

    Choosing you column layout

    • 3 equal columns → choose 3 Columns (Equal)(each column uses 4 parts of the grid)

    • 2 equal columns → choose 2 Columns (Equal)(each column uses 6 parts of the grid)

    • 4 equal columns → choose 4 Columns (Equal)(each column uses 3 parts of the grid)

    • Uneven columns → choose a mixed layout(for example: 2 + 10, or 5 + 7)

    Tip: Always choose a “stacked” option so columns stack neatly on mobile screens.

    Adding your content safely

    • Place your text and images inside the column cells

    • Leave the existing formatting in place

    • Replace the placeholder content only

    Once your content is in place, you can safely delete the placeholder word “cell”.

    Important rules to remember

    • All columns in a row must add up to 12

    • Do not delete the layout structure

    • Only replace the content inside each column
