Content Types

Content types are templates that display content in various ways. The most commonly used content type is the Universal Page, which is good for building basic informational pages. Every Tulane website has its own “home page.” Home pages should utilize the “Article” content type.

Universal Page

This content type is ideal for the vast majority of a site's interior pages. Universal pages can include images, text, video and template snippets such as accordions, grids and block quotes.

Article

Articles work well for a site's home page or an interior landing page that has a lot of content. Articles offer various custom blocks and most of these blocks offer multiple display options that allow for a dynamic page. Blocks include photo grid layouts, image carousels, accordions, image/text layouts and quick links.

*Note: Sidebar navigation menus are not available on Article pages
