This is a hero block. It should be the first element of your page. Logos can be images or text. Logo images should be transparent. Images should be 3×2 aspect ratio, focused at the centre.

An image card element

This is the main way to display text and images together. Images should again be 3×2 aspect ratio. The theme colour sets the border at the top of the block.

Videos should be embedded from YouTube. Closed captions must be included, as must a text transcript. The transcript can be added on a separate page and linked from underneath the video as in this example.

Adding a video requires a few steps:

  1. Add a Group block
  2. Set alignment to full width, and choose a background colour from the side panel settings
  3. Within the Group block, add another Group block with default settings
  4. Within child Group block add content, i.e. a Heading block and a YouTube block
