Article Page - Zoned layout


Overview

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.


Unique article system that allows content managers full control of how content and article structure are arranged. 



User-defined zoned layoutNon-zoned (default) layout


If the 'Use Zoned Article Template' is disabled in Article Feature Settings, then this default non-zoned layout is automatically used.


If you want to completely customise a template for each individual article, see the guide on Article Template Override
