Locations

Usage

The Locations block lists your locations as a Grid, Cards, or Features layout. Show all of them, one region or type, or locations you pick by hand, and optionally add filter buttons visitors can click.

Real-world example

Steve Brown Apartments — Madison Parking uses a Locations block with:

  • A card grid of parking properties (128 Langdon, 122 E. Gilman, and more)
  • Filtering set to By Region, with Show All and Central Campus buttons
  • Each card showing the property name and, in the excerpt, pricing and availability ("Garage parking available for $295/mo. Available 8/17!")
  • An inquiry form below the listing (regular page content)

Regions like Central Campus group the properties. Types could separate garages from surface lots.

Content

  • What to Display — Show All, By Region, By Type, or Handpicked
  • Handpicked Locations — appears when What to Display is Handpicked
  • Type / Region — which types or regions to show for By Type or By Region

Appearance

  • Layout — Grid, Cards (default), or Features
  • Columns — 2–4 per row (Cards layout)
  • Feature — a map or image on each card (Cards layout)
  • Style — Cards or Inline (Cards layout)
  • Title Style — text style for location names
  • Heading Level — H2, H3 (default) or H4 for location names. Title Style still sets the look
  • Button Style — Hide, Button, or Understated link on each card
  • Filtering — By Region, By Type, or Disabled
  • Region Filters / Type Filters — which regions or types get a filter button

Tips

  • Directly under the page title, set Heading Level to H2; under an H2 section heading, keep H3.
  • Put pricing and availability in each location's excerpt so cards are quick to scan.
