Featured Media - 1 column

Overview

This versatile component allows you to position an image or video together with text to create a coordinated design elements. Choose whether to put the media on the left or right, whether the background is white or gray, and if the block has a button calling users to an important related link. This component also has two display options for the image: 1/2 of the width or 1/3 of the width. By choosing 'limit-height' in the classes field, the media will take up 1/3 of the width and the text will take up 2/3 of the width. This can be a better presentation option for portrait orientation images so that they don't end up too large.
