Two column

Placing images alongside text can reduce the page length, which limits the need for users to scroll to find information and can encourage users to make connections between images and text.

Two paragraphs of body text can be displayed alongside each other using the Two column component.

Generally, it is good to write web content left-aligned and in one column. However, you might want to use two columns of text to hold two connected pieces of information in equal consideration. For instance, a written statement and a bullet point list summarising key information. 

Similarly, multiple images of equal importance an be displayed without making the page too long.

The two-column images below show different opportunities for physical activity offered by the University:

• Team sports at the Peffermill Playing Fields or various indoor sports halls
• Individual sports at the various gym and athletics facilities such the Pleasance Gym.

You could use the two-column component to display a staff or student photo beside important information about them.

For example you could highlight an important member of staff or member of your College community, like this example of Professor Anneila Sargent who graduated in Physics in 1963.
