Event Highlights

The Event Highlights content type provides the user the ability to list three upcoming events and to include an external hyperlink for each event. There is one featured image that displays in desktop viewports and this can be changed via the Terminal four media library.

Other features include:

  • One main call to action button that links to a section or content item within terminal four CMS or an external link
  • This content type is responsive and the featured events image will be hidden for smaller viewports. 
  • In mobile viewports the Events stack vertically.

Note: This is intended to only be used on the homepage or top level landing pages.
