Basic Template

Starting in Spring 2021 we will begin transitioning Cascade websites to use the new Basic Template.

Cascade uses templates for creating pages and our original setup of cascade used a separate template for each page layout (for example: Second Level Page, Second Level Page – faq, Second Level Page – stafflist….)

The Basic Template contains multiple components (layouts), so there is no longer a need to use a separate template for each type of webpage. With the Basic Template you can create a typical content page or you can create a page with an opening paragraph, an faq and a video.

Currently the Basic Template contains the following components:

note: The Basic Template is actively being worked on so more components (layout options ) will continue to be added.

  • Components can be used in any order
  • Components can be used multiple times.
  • Each component is added to that page by adding a new row and selecting the type of component.
  • To add a row:
    • press the green plus sign to the right of the Row section
    • use the radio buttons to select the component
    • the edit area will automatically populate with the fields needed for the selected component
