Field Reference

Link area:

• URL
  Here you can paste an external URL, enter an internal path or just start typing the content title and autocomplete will suggest matching items.
• Link text
  Enter a clear and descriptive label for the link button.
• Select a style dropdown
  Select how the link is displayed:
  • Primary button: Displays the link as a prominent button. If the Link Text field is left empty, the section remains linked, but the button is hidden.
  • Outline button: Unlike a filled Primary button, this style uses a border and transparent background. Best suited for secondary actions and supporting links when a Primary button should remain the main visual focus.
  • Info icon on the bottom left corner:  Displays the icon even if you leave the Link text field empty.
  • External link: If you leave the Link text field empty, the system displays the external link as a raw URL.
• Open link in new window toggle
  Enable this option to open the link in a new browser window.

Field Reference

Background-Media Paragraph
Select an image or video to display as the Section's background.

Background-Media Paragraph Mobile
Optionally choose a different image for mobile devices to ensure the best display experience on smaller screens..

Background-Color Paragraph
The background color for the Section affects the text color within the textbox. If you choose a dark background color, the text automatically switches to white for better readability. It won't interfere with the image display.

Position Textbox
Choose where the textbox appears within the Section. By default, None positions the textbox in the upper-left corner.

Background-Color Textbox
Pick a background color for the textbox.

Minimal Height of Paragraph
Define the minimum height of the Section in the browser. When a fixed height is specified, the background media automatically adjusts to fit the browser window.
You can either:

• Set a custom height for the Section here, or
• Upload media with the desired dimensions and enable Use Image Dimensions to preserve its proportions.

Use Parallax Effect
Enable a parallax scrolling effect to create a dynamic visual experience. For more information, see the Parallax Effect page.

Use Image Dimensions
Enable this option to preserve the original dimensions of the uploaded background image. This helps maintain a consistent appearance across different screen sizes while keeping the layout responsive.

Quick Demo: Add a section with a big headline, a background image, and the Parallax Effect applied.
