Types of Content Blocks

Types of Content Blocks

Each content block has its own purpose, and they all do different things. It's important to know what each block does so that you can make sure you're getting the right type of content onto your website.

Here are the different types of content blocks you can choose from:

Address: Input your company's address or link your Business Profile address to easily show your location or a Google Map.

Items List: Add an items list if you want to showcase more than one item or easily create a list of products/listings. (Note: If you are linking to one of the items on the items list somewhere else on your website, and end up deleting that item from the list, that linking will no longer work. Removing/deleting any item from an items list (or any list) will remove it from the website entirely. To get that item back, you will need to remake it.)

Link: This content block automatically loads on the Navigation Item page, and it is where you can choose how/where to link visitors to within your navigation bar. 

MINDBODY: A block that is specifically dedicated to MINDBODY embed codes.

Reservations: After connecting your preferred reservations integration, add this block so that visitors can easily make reservations through your provider.

Resource: Easily show one of the PDFs or resources from your Resource Library.

Simple List: Much like the Items list, showcase a list of information/listings. Unlike the Items list, where linking to another page requires a bit more work, this list allows you to easily link information within the block itself.

Social: After integrating your accounts in the Settings area, add your social media feeds.

Social Icons: Unlike the social block, you cannot show your social media feeds with this content block. Instead, this block is used to show icons of different social media accounts, so visitors can easily click on the page they'd like to go to and the browser will open it in another window.
