You can optionally set Alternative Text to be placed inside the image source tag of HTML code. This text is shown when images can't be displayed.

You can optionally set a Title to be displayed above the image content on your page.


You can use Content Templates to insert a premade content block. The available Content Templates are:


  • Cb1.PNG Text with right aligned image - A basic column of text next to an image. Useful for about us, bios, portfolio item and other pages where the image relates closely to the text.
  • Cb2.PNG Text with left aligned image - A basic column of text next to an image. Useful for about us, bios, portfolio item and other pages where the image relates closely to the text.
  • Cb3.PNG Two small images with text - Great for about us pages, partnership descriptions and other pages where the images are there for reference.
  • Cb4.PNG Two columns with text - Your standard two column layout. The infinite possibilities include stories, histories, about us and other pages with a lot of text.
  • Cb5.PNG Two columns with images on top - This is great for describing two images on a single page, or comparing two things side by side.
  • Cb6.PNG Three columns with text - A three column layout. Excellent for smaller text pages and ideal for lists of items or links.
  • Cb7.PNG Three columns with images on top - This is good for comparing or writing about multiple images, or for introducing multiple members of a team and other similar pages.
