Only Typecase Admins can create Landing pages.
If you think your organisation needs a Landing page, read this guide first to help you decide.
The purpose of a Landing page
A Landing page should be used to collate multiple pages about a University faculty, department or group.
To pin pages to a Landing page, they must all be owned by the same Owning organisation in Typecase. To collate pages from more than one Owning organisation, use a Topic page.
The organisation that owns the page is responsible for keeping the information up to date.
Appearance
Landing pages are made up of rows of Pinned items components.
Each Pinned item component has up to six pages linked from it, showing the page's Title, Summary and an optional image. These pages are called Pinned items.
You can also add up to four Split sections to a Landing page. This is where you can add free text, images, and multimedia to explain the faculty, department or group's work.
Examples of Landing pages
Accessibility
You must make sure your content is accessible.
As a public sector body, we're legally required to make the content on our website as accessible as possible. The government checks our content to make sure it complies with the internationally recognised guidelines from the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
Find out more about accessibility or contact beta-content@bath.ac.uk if you have any questions.
Creating content
Subtype
You should choose from one of the subtypes listed on the template to tell Typecase which type of Landing page you are creating.
Core components
Your page must have a User need, Title, Summary, Navigation and Owning organisation or group.
Read more about core components.
Labels
You can add Labels to your page if you're an Editor or Admin, but you don’t need to add Labels and should only use them to:
- pin content to a Topic page
- create a filtered list of related pages
Don't use Labels for any other reason. Labels don't function like search keywords or tags on a blog. If you use Labels incorrectly, your content could appear in the wrong place on the website.
Find out more about using Labels in Typecase.
