This is Step 2 of a series: How to Create a Giving Experience đ
Layout allows you to customize how your Giving Experience looks and feels. We offer two layout options: Simplified & Standard.
Simplified
Offers your supporters an easy-to-use, simple layout that focuses on conversion.
Standard
Offers an excellent option for story-telling, reinforcing why your supporter should donate with a strong Headline and Description.
Note: the Description text will display in a paragraph (line breaks aren't possible). If you need to separate out sentences, consider using Highlight Points instead.
If you need help determining what layout would be best for you, you can preview how your layout will look on Desktop or Mobile even before you go live.
Feature Image
Depending on your chosen layout, the feature image will be incorporated in a few different ways. There is no size requirement for the feature image. Please upload any image you'd like to use, and Givecloud will do the rest! đŞ
Simplified
The feature image will sit in the back of your Giving Experience:
Standard
The feature image will display along with your Description text, and when you embed your experience as a button, the feature image will be used to create consistent branding on the page:
Please note the feature image does not display in mobile view when the form is opened via an embed.

Highlight Points allow nonprofits to visually emphasize key impact areas within the donation experience. Instead of long text descriptions, donors can quickly understand how their contribution makes a difference through a concise, visually engaging format.
