KU Homepage Overview

The KU Homepage including full-width image content type is new with the 2017 KU Brand.

There are two layout options available within the content type. Both feature a full-width hero photo and optional call-out text that sits on top of the photo. The layouts for both options are similar, but there are differences.

Option 1:

Features a Site Summary under the hero photo. It is pre-styled with Times at a large font size and the text length is limited. The style is not editable.
- The Site Summary could be a short statement about the purpose of your site, a reason why your program stands out, a brag point etc.
Below the Site Summary are three column containers. You may choose to populate one, two, or all three columns.
- If you populate only the left column, it fills the full width.
- If you populate the left and middle columns, they both take half the width.
- If you populate all three columns, each take a third of the width.
All blocks fall below the content.

Option 2:

Features a Top Content Area under the hero photo. It is not pre-styled, length is unlimited and its contents are open.
Below the Top Content Area are two column containers and a sidebar for blocks. You may choose to populate one, or both columns. The sidebar is optional.
- If you populate only the left column and the sidebar, the column fills 3/4 the width.
- If you populate the left and middle column but don't use the sidebar, each column takes half the width.
- If you populate all three columns, the sidebar is the width of the block and the other two columns divide the remaining space.
If you populate the sidebar with custom blocks, the required blocks fall below the columns. If you don't use the sidebar all blocks fall below the content.
