A designed section is a few blocks already laid out and filled in for you, like "Confession" for a parish, "Contact the chancery" for a diocese or "Admissions" for a school. Add one, then change anything in it.

Add one

  1. Open a page in the editor and press Add.
  2. Press the Designed sections chip. You can also use a purpose chip, such as Welcome, Mass and sacraments, News and events, People, Giving, Forms and contact or Photos. Each shows its own designed sections first.
  3. Click a card to add it.

The whole section goes onto the page together, after the section you've selected. It's one step, so Undo takes all of it away at once.

See it before you add it

Each card shows the real section drawn small, in your colours and fonts, with your own details. Press Preview on a card to see it large. The preview has Add this section and Close.

If your website has no public address yet, the card lists the blocks it adds instead of a picture.

Where the words and facts come from

The facts come from your records: your Mass times, your address, your priests. If you haven't given EcclesiaOne a fact yet, that part shows a note only you see in the editor, telling you what to add. Nothing is made up.

What you'll see and won't

  • Parishes, dioceses, schools and religious communities each get their own set, written for them.
  • A section is offered only when your website can use every block in it.
  • Inside a column, you only see the sections that fit a column.
  • The search box finds them by church words. Try "baptism" or "timetable".

Your own saved sections are listed too, under Your templates. See Saving your own templates.
