Ribbon promo
Ribbon promos run the full width of the page and you can choose a right or left-hand side layout, different colours, adding images, a heading, description, and up to two call-to-action buttons.
When to use Ribbon Promos
The Ribbon Promo content type is a large colourful signposting link containing an image. You should only use one per page, as too many will mean they no longer stand out. For the rest of your signposting links, you should use the Cards content type.
Example
A Promo Block content type will include -
- Title
- Description sentence
- Image
- Links x2
