Article Page - Zoned layout


Overview



You probably already know that BPD websites come equipped with a clean, well-organised article layout right out of the box.

But what if you've got additional content to display in your articles? Or what if you'd prefer a customised page layout, completely unique to your site?

That's where the zoned layout option comes in! By using a zoned article layout, you can present your article in the layout of your choice, with content arranged as you please.
