Content block

The content block provides a stylized two-column layout for content and a decorative image. Use this pattern when you want to showcase information with an image. This pattern is similar to the hero banner except it allows for longer content.

Columns widths can be set to one and two thirds, two and one thirds, and one half and one half. The image and content columns may also be switched. This results in 6 different layout options.

Image height variants

The image can have 4 different heights: small, medium, large, or flexible.

The small, medium, large variants are fixed heights set through CSS.

The flexible height means the image will stretch vertically to match the height of the content column. Therefore, the image will always be 100% height of the entire content block.

Demo

Mix and match the options below to see the flexibility of the content block.

Example title lorem ipsum neque porro quisquam est

Lorem ipsum dolor

Example content neque porro quisquam est qui dolorem ipsum, neque porro quisquam est qui dolorem. Neque porro quisquam est qui dolorem ipsum, neque porro quisquam est qui dolorem.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Ut quis ante eu dui porttitor mollis. Nam elementum diam eget posuere tincidunt. Nulla ut fringilla arcu. Praesent eget convallis mi. Praesent lobortis convallis erat sed tempor.
