Card
About the Card Component
The Card component is mainly used on static pages. It fills the space allocated in a layout and provides areas for a header and content below. You can add Text components inside a Card, making it ideal for listing out policies or grouping related information.
Open the CMS editor where you want to add or edit a Card component.
Drag the Card component onto your page.
Add a header and the content you want to show inside the Card.
Save your changes in the editor.
Please note that in its original form, the header of the card component is not editable and appears in a grey colour when used on the front end of the site. We can update this component to make the header editable and change the colour to suit your branding. Please contact us if this is something you would like to add to your CMS.
