Drag & Drop Editor for Landing Pages

Customers with i360 Action Sites have the ability to design pages that display on their website using the drag and drop editor. With this tool you can customize the following:

  • Add images, videos, text boxes, and buttons

  • Change existing layouts to fit your needs

  • Edit text size, fonts, and add hyperlinks

  • Edit padding, margins, and backgrounds across desktop, tablet, and mobile interfaces

This article covers how to access the editor and an overview of its key functions.

Create a New Action

To use the editor, you'll need to make changes to an existing landing page or create a new one. This can be done from Digital > Web Pages.

Select 'Create Web Page' in the bottom right corner. Fill out the required details including:

  • Title

  • Subtitle

  • Primary Topic

  • Action Type

  • Page URL

Make any desired changes on the 'Settings' tab (#1 on the top navigation bar) and select next to move on to 'Content' (#2 on the top navigation bar). Insert text in the text box to elaborate on the action that people will be signing. You can edit this text at any time in the future. Select 'Next' to get to the 'Display' tab.

Display

The Drag & Drop Editor lives on the 'Display' tab within the action site builder. You'll want to begin by selecting a layout option that best fits your needs. Select '+Add layout template' to choose a base option. You'll be able to edit this layout later.

Next, select a featured image. i360 provides dozens for you to choose from, but you can add your own to your library by following the steps in this guide: Add Images to an Action Page

Any edits to your form will be done from this page. Choose which fields to require, add, or remove (first, last name, email, and zip are always required). You can adjust the size, font, and color of this form in the form builder.

'Preview & Edit Landing Page' Access

Select 'Preview & Edit Landing Page' in the bottom right.


Once loaded, the page will display all of the settings and display options that you've selected so far. Hover over and click different items on the page (title, subtitle, form) to interact and make edits.

Below is an overview of all available settings from left to right on the page.

Left Sidebar Icons

Drag and drop any of the icons (elements) onto the landing page to add it to the page. Most icons (aside from the columns) will be floating. We'll cover how to edit and move them into place in the next section.

Image

Insert the image element to select an image from your library. Select an existing image and select "Select Image Size" in bottom bar to edit the image size. Add new images from the bottom bar as well from "Upload New Image".

Video

Use the Style editor on the right to choose a video provider, source link, and edit other display settings. The video tool supports HTML5, Youtube, and Vimeo.

Text

Add text on the page and edit the style from the text editor on the right.

Box

Insert a box element on the page and adjust the size, corner radius, and color from the style editor on the right.

Button

Use this option to add a button to your landing page. Navigate to 'Style' using the menu on the right to edit the link, open settings, and hover text. The link must start with 'https://" to work.

Section

Create a single section by dragging and dropping this option onto your landing page. A green line will appear to show where the element will land.

Two Columns

Create two equal-sized sections using this drag and drop option. The green line will show where the element will drop.

Three Columns

Create three equal-sized sections using this option. The green line will show where the sections will land. Select each unique column to edit the text or drag in other elements.

Two Columns 3/7

Create two columns of different sizes using this element. This is a great option if you want a main area and sidebar area to insert elements.

Element Settings

Each element you interact with will display different settings. Below is a guide to walk you through the behaviors of all settings. An example of a settings bar is below:

Description

Adjust Layer

Use this to move to the layer behind the element you selected. An example: you select text but would like to edit the box behind the text.

Drag Tool

Move the element around the page. This will simply move the element and not move other elements around to make room (use tiled movement instead).

Delete

Delete the element.

Resize (Change Padding)

Adjust the sizing of the element with this option. In most cases, double clicking the element will also allow you to resize.

Tiled Movement

Use this drag and drop feature to insert the element into an existing column. This element will move other items to make room for this one. Use the align and resizing tools to fit it to your needs.

Align Left

Align the element left.

Center Horizontally

Center the element horizontally. Use margin and padding from the 'Style' sidebar to adjust the element vertically.

Align Right

Align the element right.

Hide

Hide the element from the page.

Preview Icons

In the top left of the page, three icons appear to display views for desktop, tablet, and mobile. Toggle between each page to preview what your page will look like across different types of devices. In the mobile view, use the drop down to view different sizes of phone screens.

As you make format edits across each device type, those settings will save for each unique device. Adding new elements (links, columns, buttons, etc.) will make changes across all views. We recommend finishing the desktop view prior to making edits to other views to ensure you're satisfied with the look and feel of all options.

Top of Page Icons

The icons at the top of the drag and drop editor will appear when an element is selected. Depending on the element, certain options will appear blue and others will appear gray. If it's gray, it cannot be used for this element. Below is an overview of what each icon accomplishes:
