What it does

A text section without an image. It holds label, heading, text, specs and button blocks and arranges them centered, left aligned or split into a heading column and a text column. The section’s padding is larger than elsewhere by default because a statement needs air.

When to use it

The promise under the hero, the chapter opener before a group of sections, the closing statement above the footer. Also as the heading and intro of a standard page. For text next to an image, use Image with text.

Blocks

  • Label: a small kicker above the heading.
  • Heading, Text, Button.
  • Specs: label and value pairs, for a compact fact box.

Setting it up

  1. Add a Heading block. Italicize the two or three words that matter.
  2. Add a Text block with one paragraph. Add a Button only if the visitor should go somewhere from here.
  3. Choose Layout.

Tips

  • Split layout puts the heading on the left and the text and button on the right. It reads well for a longer paragraph.
  • Set the heading to Whole heading in the accent font for a large pull quote. Keep it to one or two lines.
  • Rich text is the right section for the page heading on a page template: one Heading block set to Page heading, and the rest of the page as sections below.
