Overview
A Landing Page is composed of blocks which can be freely arranged in the layout.


Blocks (elements) are objects that help organize your pages. You can quickly and easily deploy and customize content blocks on a page. Resize and rearrange all deployed elements in any way you like and present the content in a clear and structured manner.

Placing elements

 

A page can include various types of elements. There are no rules on how the elements should be placed. You decide what types of elements you would like to see and where on the design canvas.

 

 

 

To place an element onto a page:

1. In the Landing Page editor, select Elements.

2. Drag and drop the element you would like to add onto the content area of a page.

3. If needed, reorder existing elements on the page by dragging.
