Content Blocks

Content blocks are the reusable sections that make up the body of a page in WebCMS. Below a page's banner, everything your visitors see — headings, image cards, expandable FAQs, call-to-action buttons — is built from content blocks. You attach blocks to a page and arrange them in the order you want them to appear.

Adding and Ordering Blocks​

To add a content block to a page:

  1. Open the page in WebCMS > Pages.
  2. Scroll to the Content Blocks section in the page editor.
  3. Click Add Content Block.
  4. Select a block type from the list.
  5. Fill in the block's fields and click Save.

To reorder blocks on a page:

  • Drag a block up or down using the handle on the left side of each row.

To remove a block from a page:

  • Use the remove action on the block row. This detaches the block from the page but does not delete it — the block remains in your Content Blocks library and can be attached to other pages.

Block Type Reference​

The following block types are available when adding content to a page.

Accordion​

An accordion displays a list of expandable items. Visitors click a title to reveal or hide the content beneath it. Use accordions for FAQ sections, service details, or any content where showing everything at once would be overwhelming.

Fields:

  • Title — the label shown in the collapsed state. Keep it short and descriptive.
  • Content — the text or formatted content revealed when the item is expanded. The content field uses a rich text editor, so you can include bold text, links, and lists.

Call to Action​

A Call to Action (CTA) block prompts visitors to take a specific step — register for an event, sign up for a group, give online, or contact your church.

Fields:

  • Headline — the main prompt or message (for example, "Ready to get connected?").
  • Description — supporting text that provides context or motivation.
  • Links — one or more buttons. For each button, set the label (button text) and the destination, which can be either an internal page selected from your page list or an external URL.

Card​

A card presents a topic, ministry, or resource with an image alongside text. Cards work well for ministry spotlights, staff profiles, or resource highlights.

Fields:

  • Title — the card's headline.
  • Description — supporting text below the title.
  • Media — an image selected from the Media Library.

Feature​

A feature block is similar to a card but is designed for a single, prominent highlight — a ministry initiative, an upcoming series, or a key program. Feature blocks typically carry more visual weight than cards.

Fields:

  • Title — the feature's headline.
  • Description — supporting text.
  • Media — an image from the Media Library.

Card vs. Feature: Use a Card for modular, repeatable content (a row of three ministry cards). Use a Feature for a single, standout section that commands the page.

Grid​

A grid displays multiple items in a structured column or row layout. Use a grid to present a set of similar items — values, team members, resources, or ministry areas.

Fields at the grid level:

  • Title — an optional heading for the entire grid section.
  • Description — optional intro text above the grid.

Fields for each grid item:

  • Title — the item's label.
  • Description — supporting text for the item.
  • Icon — an optional icon displayed with the item.
  • Media — an optional image from the Media Library.

To add grid items, use the Add Item button within the grid block. Items can be reordered with drag-and-drop, the same as content blocks on a page.

A header block acts as a section title — a visual divider that introduces a group of content below it. Use headers to organize a long page into named sections.

Fields:

  • Title — the section heading text.
  • Description — optional supporting text below the title.
  • Badge — a small label that appears above or beside the title (for example, "New" or "Upcoming"). Use it to add context or draw attention to the section.

Section​

A section block acts as a styled container for content. It groups related content visually and can apply a background color or style to a portion of the page. Use sections to create visual breaks between content areas.

Fields:

  • Title — an optional heading for the section.
  • Additional fields may vary based on your active theme.

Frequently Asked Questions​

How many content blocks can I add to a page?

There is no hard limit. However, very long pages with many blocks can become slow to load for visitors. As a general guide, 6–10 blocks per page is a practical range for most church pages.

Can I reuse the same content block on multiple pages?

Yes. When you add a content block to a page, you can either create a new block or attach an existing one from your Content Blocks library. Changes to a shared block will appear on all pages it is attached to.

What is the difference between a Card and a Feature block?

Both display an image alongside text, but they serve different purposes. Cards are designed to be used in groups — for example, three cards side by side for three ministries. Feature blocks are designed for a single prominent item with more visual emphasis.

Can I nest content blocks inside each other?

Not directly. However, the Grid block type contains its own set of items, which is the closest equivalent to nested content. Other block types are standalone sections placed in sequence on the page.
