Blocks

Blocks allow you to place content in headers, footers, and sidebars on your website. Rather than being constrained to the main content area of the site, you can place content anywhere on the page. Each block can appear on one or more pages and can be reused throughout the site.

Drag and drop support.

Blocks can be dragged and dropped right on the screen into different arrangements. Just click, hold, and drag. No learning curve required.

Blocks can contain virtually any type of content.

• Text, images, and links
• Advertisements - either image or javascript based
• Third-party widgets like online donation forms, subscription forms, calendars, videos, etc
• Your most recent blog posts, press releases, or other content that Compass automatically updates for you

Benefits of Using Blocks

• Flexibility
  Place content anywhere on the page, in any combination of pages. Blocks can be stacked on top of each other and arranged in any order you'd like.
  
  
• Content Reuse
  A single block can be reused in multiple locations throughout your website. Updating the block will update the content everywhere it appears throughout the site.
  
  
• Complex Content Requirements
  Blocks allow you to create complex content arrangements easily. Blocks can contain basic text, images, or something more dynamic like your most recent press releases.
