How it works

  • The stage page head can be displayed instead of a page headline at the top of a content page.
  • It consists of the mandatory keyline and optional elements like
    • Infoline
    • List items with icons (up to 10)
    • Button, CTA (one or two)
    • Background image
    • Action stamp
  • The text area can be placed on the left hand side of the stage. Different widths and vertical alignments, as well as different font sizes for keylineare available (see examples).
    • Keyline font size
      • Large
      • Medium (default)
      • Small
    • Text width
      • Medium (default)
      • Small 
      • Large
    • Text position
      • Top
      • Center
      • Bottom
  • Optionally, individual words of the infoline can be highlighted in red. If 'inverted' is selcted on 'Theme'-layout higlighted words are bold not red.
  • Optionally, font in all text elements can be in white color if background image is dark. Make sure readability remains accessible.
  • Optionaly it is possible to apply the white context box to improve readability of text if needed.
  • Image
    • Ratio
      Requires to insert a 327:167 or 23:8 image (by cropping or by original dimensions) for all viewports
    • Minimum resolution
      3840px x 1960px or 3840px x 1336px
  • Margin below page heads
    Hiding the bottom margin allows eliminating white space between page heads that have an image and a Top Level Grid (or other Top Level component) that has a background color.
    Only use for these cases.

How to use it

  • Use it as an engaging element for your page content.
  • Choose the right combination of elements, the right message area width and a keylinefont size that best fits your specific message.
  • Always think mobile! Don’t combine too many elements.
  • If the text is displayed in front of the image in the desktop view, make sure that it is readable (accessible).
