Featured Panel

Add a featured panel with full bleed background image, heading, optional CTA button and text panel.

How to use

  • Optionally add Quick-Nav Text to be picked up the Quick Navigation Bar/Progress Navigation Bar
  • Choose a Background Colour: Purple, Purple Light, Red or Teal. The Background Colour sets the background of the Right Text, if the Right Text element is left blank the Background Colour has no impact.
  • Select a suitable image from the Media Library for the Background Image.
    Recommend image is at least 2200px x 1610px. The image can be any size or aspect ratio, and will be cropped and resized for desktop 2200px x 1610px and mobile 780px x 1688px automatically by a service called PXL. Find out how PXL crop and resize works.
  • Optionally add an Image Overlay. Use this to improve the contrast ratio of the text over the Background Image when using a lighter image, see Text Over Images.
  • Add Left Text, this is the Heading which shows over the image to the left
  • Optionally add a CTA button to display below the Left Text. Add CTA Text for the button text and either select a section or content item for the CTA Internal Link (ignore the Use default link text checkbox), or paste the full URL for the CTA External URL (please do not enter both)
  • Optionally add Right Text, this shows in a coloured panel over the image
