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 an item to reveal or hide the content beneath it. Use accordions for service details or any content where showing everything at once would be overwhelming.

Fields:

  • Title — an optional heading for the accordion section.
  • Description — optional intro text shown below the title.
  • Items — one or more expandable rows. Each item has a Label (the text shown in the collapsed state) and Content (the formatted text 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:

  • Title — 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 and text. Cards work well for ministry spotlights, staff profiles, or resource highlights.

Fields:

  • Media — an image selected from the Media Library.
  • Icon — an optional icon to display with the card.
  • Title — the card's headline.
  • Description — supporting text below the title.
  • Link — an optional button linking to an internal page or external URL.

FAQ​

An FAQ block displays a set of questions and answers drawn from an FAQ List you have built in the FAQ manager. Use it to embed a curated question-and-answer set on any page.

Fields:

  • Title — an optional heading for the FAQ section.
  • Description — optional intro text above the questions.
  • FAQ List — the FAQ List whose questions and answers this block displays (required). Build and manage lists in WebCMS > FAQs.

Grid​

A grid arranges several existing content blocks together in a structured layout. Rather than holding its own text, a grid references content blocks you have already built and displays them as a group — useful for presenting a set of similar items such as a row of ministry cards.

Fields:

  • Variant — controls the grid's layout and style. Available options depend on your active theme.
  • Grid Items — a list of references to existing content blocks. Add an item and select the content block to include. Reorder items with drag-and-drop.

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 that groups related content visually and can apply a background style to a portion of the page. Use sections to create visual breaks between content areas.

Fields:

  • Title — an optional heading for the section.
  • Description — optional supporting text.
  • Media — an optional image from the Media Library.
  • Cards — an optional list of references to existing Card content blocks to display within the section.
  • Links — up to two optional buttons.

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.

How do I display FAQs on a page?

Use the FAQ block. First build your questions and answers as an FAQ List in WebCMS > FAQs, then add an FAQ block to the page and select that list.

Can I group several content blocks together?

Yes. The Grid block references existing content blocks and displays them together as a group — for example, a row of ministry cards. The Section block can similarly group Card content blocks within a styled container. Other block types are standalone sections placed in sequence on the page.
