Overview
Building Blocks are the flexible, modular components that allow you to create and customize pages on your Breedpost website. These blocks give you the power to design engaging, user-friendly pages without any coding.
Understanding Building Blocks
-
Modular Components: Each block is a pre-designed section you can add to your pages.
-
Flexible Layouts: Arrange blocks in any order to create a custom page design.
-
Easy Customization: Change content, images, and settings for each block without affecting the rest of your page.
How Building Blocks Work
-
Every page type—Home, Pages, Breedings, and Articles—starts with a hero section for a strong first impression.
-
Beyond the hero, you can use a variety of blocks in the Blocks field to build your page content.
-
Blocks are arranged in a stack, and you can mix and match them to suit your content needs.
