Our Bolt CMS provide an environment for creating multiple forms of content, here we demonstrate all the article types, content types and best practices for using these tools.
Articles
A traditional digital content type used for the majority of editorial content.
Add Title - the internal-facing page name
Add Media - for adding individual images
Use the functionality on the right-hand side to add metadata for your images, such as captions and alt-text.
Add Media > Create Gallery - for creating image galleries
Creating galleries is straightforward: simply select the images and they will appear in the preview at the bottom of the screen. You can use the same tools as above to add the necessary or desirable metadata.
Styling
Utilise our standard WYSIWYG editor to apply article styling elements such as bolding, italicisation, text colour and text alignment and paragraph formats.
Add Video
Easily add Youtube videos with the "Add Video" function. Paste the URL and add the video ID separately, e.g. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wS0bWRnCWu0

Sliders
Our slider functions are ideal for presenting chunks of small content in a user-friendly way on mobile devices. Simply add your slider content and then add within the article as shown below. For best practice, we recommend that all slider images within the same slider are created to be the same pixel dimensions.
