Tips & Good practices

  • Make sure to resize & optimize images for this block before uploading it to the WordPress Media Library. Use Web Services’ Optimizer to do this easily.
  • Add a call-to-action if possible. Make sure it directly offers what is described in the card.
  • If you add a link that leaves utahtech.edu, goes to the catalog, or directs the user to a file, make the link opens in a new tab.

Bad Practices

  • Do not use this block as the page title.
  • Do not add text longer than one or two short paragraphs.
