How to use

The page designer can be used for cms blocks and cms pages. Add a new block/page or edit an existing one.

1. Select the responsive layout. You can define different layouts for smartphone, tablet, laptop and desktop
2. Add more rows
3. Click + in order to open up the editor. There you can choose from the widget list or just a wysiwyg editor
4. Drag and drop the row
5. Click + in order to add a column in the current row
6. Click to add pre defined css classes to the row
7. Delete the row
8. Drag and drop the column
9. Click to add pre defined css classes to the column
10. Delete the row

Here is an example how a layout can look like:

You can import cms blocks you already created into another cms block in order to build on already existing layouts.
This helps you to not start from scratch. All cms blocks created with the page designer are visible in the dropdown Import Static Block.
