CMS block reference
Site content
This page describes the default block types that ship with a standard eMedhaa Site content setup. Treat it as a reference for authors and administrators, not a fixed product limit.
About this reference
Each institute receives a working set of blocks in the block library (heroes, content sections, marketing, FAQs, and global header/footer). Your deployment may show the same names with different fields, or additional custom blocks, depending on how your site was implemented.
Partners often rebuild or extend blocks to match branding, integrations, and course marketing. When you plan a new page, pick the closest default block, then confirm labels and fields in your own block builder library.
This article does not include screenshots: block layouts change as your site evolves. Use the block builder preview on your institute URL to see the live look and feel.
Categories in the block library
The library groups blocks roughly as follows:
- Layout and heroes: structure and top-of-page impact
- Content: text, cards, and blog-related pieces
- Marketing: courses, forms, maps, and contact
- FAQs and testimonials: trust and answers
- Team and video: people and media highlights
- Global settings: header and footer shared across the site
Exact group names in the UI may vary slightly by release.
Layout and heroes
Use these blocks to frame a page: first impression, section spacing, and multi-column rows.
Home hero
Large banner with headline, supporting text, and a background image. This is the primary above-the-fold block on the marketing home page.
When to use it:
- Institute home page welcome message
- Main value proposition plus one primary call to action
- Seasonal campaign hero when you replace background and copy
What to configure:
- Headline and short supporting text (keep mobile line length in mind)
- Background image sized for wide screens; check crop in preview
- Publish the block when copy and image are final
Page hero
Shorter title band for inner pages (About, Contact, Admissions, and similar).
When to use it:
- Any page that is not the home page but needs a clear title area
- Optional background image for section branding
What to configure:
- Page title as shown to visitors
- Background image optional; use a lighter image if text sits on top
Spacer
Adds vertical space between blocks without empty rich text.
When to use it:
- Separating dense sections (for example FAQ after a long feature row)
- Fine-tuning rhythm before go-live without redesigning the whole page
What to configure:
- Size: small, medium, or large (preview on mobile and desktop)
Column layout
One, two, or three columns in container or full width. Each column can hold nested blocks such as feature cards or rich text.
When to use it:
- Three benefits in a row on the home page
- Two-column About page (story plus sidebar facts)
- Full-width band with two equal promos
What to configure:
- Column count and width mode

Content
Blocks for readable copy, cards, and blog presentation.

What to configure:

Rich text
Formatted HTML for longer copy: policies, about pages, or custom markup allowed by your theme.
When to use it:
- Privacy excerpts, terms summaries, or institute history
- Any section where a single WYSIWYG body is easier than many small blocks
What to configure:
- HTML body; use headings inside the editor for long pages

Blog listing settings
Controls sort order for posts on the blog overview (not a visible page section by itself).
When to use it:

Blog overview

Deprecated blocks
Older sites may still contain legacy single-purpose blocks (for example separate FAQ header or testimonial card entries). Prefer the combined FAQ, Testimonials, and Meet the team blocks on new pages.
If you migrate an old page, map each legacy block to one item inside a combined block, then remove the deprecated block to simplify editing.
