Content and structure

Templates

Need a helping hand creating landing pages? Use one of the 19 templates that help you nail your page designs.

Modules are your page’s building blocks. Use them to make it easier for users to navigate the space. For example, use a News module to highlight blog posts, or direct users to other pages using Button modules and Icon modules.

Structure a page by clustering modules:

  • The largest possible group is called a section. It can have its own settings, including backgrounds.

  • Sections can be further organized into rows. Rows can also have their own settings and backgrounds.

  • Rows can can contain up to six columns that contain modules.

You can easily switch up your design by dragging and dropping modules, sections, and rows around.

Add a module

Simply hover your mouse over the desired location and click the + Add module button that appears. Available modules:
