Layout

When you use the 'Landing page' content type, you can rearrange your page components into different layouts.

The default option is to have your page components arranged vertically in the centre of the page.  

However, from the Layout option, you can choose to have two or three columns. EdWeb 2 allows you to tailor your page layout to the amount and type of content you have on your page. 

Whichever layout you choose, the summary box will always stay along the top of the page, immediately under your page title. This ensures a consistent look across all University webpages, and means that visitors to your site can easily browse your pages and find the information they need.  

You can see some basic examples of the different landing page layouts below.
