FEEDS FOR CONTENT MANAGEMENT AND AUTOMATION

You can use manually managed feeds to create and manage content that does not need to be designed. This is a great way to manage a list of locations, people, news & events or any regularly updated data for your site. Create a feed, select the feed in the feeds tab of a block and bam! You have automatically created sub-blocks and your content is automated.

Feeds For Content Management

"Manually Managed" feeds allow you to create new feed items with a title, body, media and any custom fields you like.

Content Automated!

Rather than manually created sub-blocks to be each item in a grid or each slide in a carousel you can use and configure feeds to be layed out just like sub-blocks.

FEEDS FOR AUTOMATIC PAGE CREATION

You can create your own page templates and then publish a feed to the site. When configured, your site will publish the feed to any section/url you configure using a page template. Use this feature to automatically create product pages, a blog, or anything you can think of.

Create A Template

Create a template and use placeholder {{tags}} for your feed data to populate

Content Automation

When you publish your site, each item in the feed will populate the template page and be published with your site.

DIFFERENT IMAGES FOR DIFFERENT SCREENS

Perfect Images Delivered

Any time you enable a media position on a block you can define different media or images to be used at different screen sizes. That way you can have a perfectly cropped image for each target screen size or change that video to a gif or image for smaller screens.
