Templates

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.

• Navigate to the area of the website where you would like to use a page template.
  
  
• Click within the content where you would like to add the template and click the template icon  
  
  
  
• The Content Templates window will appear.  Select the required template to add it to your page. 

• If you would like the template to replace content already on your page, tick the Replace actual contents checkbox.

TIPS

• If there isn't a space after your template, you can add a paragraph space, to allow you to add further content.  Click into the content area, and hover your mouse toward the bottom of the template.  A red box with an arrow will appear.  Click the arrow to create space.
  
  
• Templates can be deleted by selecting the item using your cursor, an simply clicking delete or backspace on the keyboard, as with any other content on the page.
