Homepage Element Tutorial Videos
Training Videos
Certain Drupal elements are placed on a website home page using a different editing system than the editing system used on your interior basic pages. However, some of these elements can also be added to your basic pages, following the instructions in these videos. These elements can be used to improve the overall aesthetics of a web page, as well as the functionality of your content by making it more scannable by your end users.
Keep in mind, you'll want to set standards within your own website so that your primary navigation pages feel more important than a page beneath your primary navigation. In most cases, many of these elements are best used on your primary navigation landing pages. However, tabs and accordions can be helpful on your detail pages that reside at lower levels in your website.
