Templates can quickly format your page to use a specific layout and style at the click of a button. Our Content Management System (CMS) comes with several generic templates to allow you to add items such as Columns and Accordions to your content. If you would like additional templates, for example, Buttons, Quotes or Announcement blocks, which are not already available; please contact our us for more information.
