Tips & Tricks

  1. A pre-formatted, two-column section is stored in the templates folder.
  2. Sections can be copied from one page and pasted to another. This helps in keeping the same styling on all pages without having to recreate from scratch.
  3. H1, H2, H3’s and other headings are for organization, not styling. Each page should only have one H1 Title, but can have multiple H2’s & H3’s. Here’s a link to Yoast’s best practices for headings. 
  4. Central’s brand colors are stored globally and can be accessed by hitting the “globe” icon.
