Beaver Builder

Learn about  how to create a page using Beaver Builder.  This should include:

  • how to create rows & columns including padding, margins, styling
  • how to use all the Beaver Builder modules that we commonly use for the Jackson-Reed Website.
  • These include buttons, headings, text editors, callouts, accordions, posts sliders, photo galleries and more.

I'm just a boring text editor box but I can be used for so much!

Callouts

Can be used to combine a heading, image, text and a link or button in one handy package.  You could build them separately but when done like this they are easy to move around!

Accordions & Icons

We also use icons sometimes to especially on buttons.  Above is an icon group.

Post Slider

Set the Posts slider up to show the last 5 slides that have the "keyposts" tag on it.  Have them scroll cleanly!  You'll need to do some styling for the posts too - can you figure out how to do the transparency?

Row Design

Notice the green wave above website updates?  How do you make that - go to Row Settings - on the Style tab look for Top Row - set it to Waves with a height of 30 and set the color to our green. #D9E9E5
