Add/edit a Call to action block

When published, a typical Call to action looks like this:

On the www site the call to action is a component on a page. To see how you add in the component go here for instructions.

On the Our People site the call to action is a stand alone block and it is added through "add content". This is so that once the call to action is developed it can be used on multiple pages.

Enter information into the data entry screen for a Call to action component.  You'll need a title, some text that describes the call or encourages the visitor to take the action.

The call to action block includes the following data entry pieces:

If you used all of the available elements it would look something like this:

Below is where each of elements of the data entry form link to the call to action block

Whenever you enter a URL in a call to action block, you can link to something external like "HTTP://dilbert.com" or you can use a relative link to connect to something on our site.  In that case, you would search in the URL field for the page you want to link to, then choose that page.  You could also type out the entire URL, treating it just like an external link. But the advantage to using a relative link is that even if that page moves within our site, the relative link will not be broken. (We're in favour of using relative links! It's less maintenance for everyone.)

Once you have your call to action block looking as you wish, you then save it.  It does not show up on the website until it is added to a page that allows for call to actions.  On the basic page it is found at the bottom of the page called bottom call to action. You will start typing the name you called your call to action block and it will show up. You then select it and it will add it to the page.
