Usage

The Call To Action block is a banner that prompts visitors to take the next step. It pairs a media column (image) with a content column (headline, subheadline, body copy, and link) in a single band. The layout works like Columns, but it's built specifically for CTAs.

Use it for a signup, purchase, contact prompt, or any message you want to stand out. You can add paragraphs and lists in the copy area for short supporting detail.

Layout

The block splits into two sides on desktop and stacks on mobile, with the image above the copy. The layout controls match Columns:

  • Columns Size — even 50/50 split or golden-ratio emphasis (61.8% / 38.2%) on the larger side
  • Swap Blocks — reverses media and content on desktop only; on mobile, media stays above copy
  • Content Position — the grid control in the block toolbar sets where text sits in the content column and how it aligns; right alignment switches to left on mobile

Appearance

  • Image Style — Sharp, Rounded, or Circle on the image
  • Rounded — rounds the corners of the whole CTA band
  • Border — adds a border inside the edge of the band
  • BG Color — palette color behind the block
  • Text Color — Light switches the headline, copy, and button to light colors for dark backgrounds
  • Padding (em) — space inside the band

Typography

  • Headlines and Subheadlines — text style presets from your Customizer (H1–H6, paragraph, bold)
  • Links — button, understated, hollow, or alternate styles for the CTA link

Edit the headline and subheadline right on the block or from the Content sidebar panel.

Content

  • Choose Image — photo or graphic in the media column (placeholder when empty)
  • Headline and Subheadline — main and supporting messages
  • Copy — paragraphs or lists below the subheadline
  • Link URL — set in the toolbar or sidebar; edit the button text right on the block

Block width

Supports Wide and Full alignment from the block toolbar.

Tips

  • By default the content column is the larger side. Swap or resize when the image should dominate.
  • Use Circle image style for headshots or logos.
  • Keep copy to a sentence or two; let the headline and button carry the action.
