How to use a Callout
A Callout showcases a tagline, mission, or short statement. Callouts bring attention to a section of content that should stand out or feel special.
- Use only on a Landing Page. The Callout is not available on other page types.
- Use a Callout to create a short introduction on a Landing Page.
- Add a photo to a Callout to highlight an agency initiative or as a way to showcase a featured quote.
- Get creative! Although this component is simple, it has a lot of potential.
