Terraced Page: Steps to get started

The Terraced page is a long-scroll format page.  It requires less time to manage while being more beautiful.  This was built for homepages but works on all sub-pages as well.  You can setup the page before publishing and from the Terraced Page, link to your old home page.  If you choose to do so, we suggest calling it the District Dashboard or something of the sort.

For more information on this page type, please view this help document.  If you're ready to get started, please continue.  

What You'll Need.

• Great pics or a short video: This makes your page pop as it will be used in a full-screen format.  SchoolBlocks offers some great options so feel free to use ours if you don't have something handy.
• Mission/Vision Statement: For the "About" section, it's great to include a paragraph that states your qualities and purpose.
• News Items: If you haven't created any news yet, please be prepared to add the latest news.
• Events: While you can add one event at a time, it sure makes life easy if you add a whole calendar at a time.  If you need help finding your calendar ICS link, click here.
• Files & Folders: Do you have files or folders which should be made easily available?
• Images: Putting together 5-10 highlight images adds visual candy to the page.
