Tutorial Guide

Hey there, thanks for visiting your CMS Tutorial guide. If you’ve received the link to this page, it means that you’re on your way to getting a fantastic new website!

The purpose of this page is to help give you an idea of all of the different ways we can layout content on your site. We use a Panel Concept, and you’ll be able to view the various options below.

Don’t worry; we will take care of ensuring your new site is both visually attractive and professional. This area is just a hub to help you during your content creation process. If you have any questions or need a little direction feel free to reach out to your account manager, and they will be able to help walk you through the process!

Panel 1: Standard Panel

Our Standard Panel is one of the most diverse panel options we have available. It can be used to create buttons or links, upload PDF’s and supporting documents or any other information you’d like to place here.

Button Button with Icon

The formatting options available here are also complex. We will upload all of the options so that it’s easy for you to use when you’re updating all of your own content.

This is how a Gradient Text block looks: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Quisque tempor magna non odio eleifend venenatis non id dolor. Proin commodo magna et tempus rhoncus. Pellentesque malesuada, turpis ut posuere lobortis, enim mauris efficitur velit, in lobortis ex diam vitae enim. Nulla varius risus metus, ut lacinia magna interdum ac. Interdum et malesuada fames ac ante ipsum primis in faucibus. Vestibulum ultrices velit ac mi tempus porttitor. Sed lacinia turpis risus, ut tempus lectus interdum in. Integer ornare rutrum aliquam. Donec sed cursus urna.

Panel 4: Standard Panel With Tabs

This will appear above the tabbed content.

Tab One Content

The standard panel tab concept was created to help our users split up content while keeping the page visually enjoyable for visitors.

You can place in bullet points
Attach photos and videos
Create a table for information

The button tab names can be adjusted, so if you have a wide variety of services your company offers you can place it all on one page and users can easily browse through that information.

Tab Two Content

They can be utilized in a multitude of ways and can also be customized to fit your brand!

As displayed below, embedding a picture or video is no problem at all and can be a powerful tool to help compliment your content. As with a standard panel adding in links, buttons or directing the user to find out more information is all possible in this panel.

Phasellus ut eleifend lacus. Quisque id neque eget turpis fringilla condimentum. Aenean at mauris id enim sagittis varius. Sed finibus enim posuere mattis pharetra. Mauris eu velit porta, luctus nisl eget, laoreet sem. Etiam vel porta mi. Aenean tristique facilisis mattis. Curabitur commodo elit felis, nec consectetur nunc elementum at.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nulla id cursus leo. Phasellus nibh est, ullamcorper sed nunc ac, tempor tempor augue. Nam est leo, mollis quis lectus in, hendrerit varius nisl. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Etiam fermentum lacus posuere mollis dapibus. Cras gravida enim nec euismod bibendum.

Curabitur maximus ante ac efficitur consectetur. Curabitur lobortis vitae enim sit amet maximus. Sed in semper ante. Pellentesque egestas magna dapibus, egestas tortor non, malesuada urna. Nulla lectus mi, condimentum in commodo et, semper et tortor.

Panel 5: Parallax Panel Insert

This is a Parallax Panel!

This panel type should be reserved for a short eye catching blurb of information. As you can see, the words stay in place while the image scrolls behind it. We recommend around 85 - 100 characters in this section if possible. If you need assistance with a background image feel free to reach out to your account manager and they can help you choose one.

Another great addition is that the parallax panel allows for a button which can be a URL link, a phone number or email. Keep this in mind as it’s great for helping with lead generation!

Panel 7: Side by Side (Video)

A Short Subtitle Goes Here!

Here is another example of a Side by Side but this time with a video on the left hand side!
You can envision a similar concept as above, but this time you can place a relevant YouTube or Vimeo video here to help users understand the point you are making.
