| This table was inserted through tinyMCE. | All of the styles (borders, colors, alignment, paddings) can be edited through the tinyMCE editor. | You can create multiple rows and columns. |
| You can assign which cells to be used as labels or "header cells" | This table is completely responsive. | It is best to not specify a width when creating tables as it will affect the responsiveness of the table (do not drag the edges of the cells - doing so will assign fixed widths to the cells). |

Panel 4: Standard Panel With Tabs
Tab One Content
The standard panel tab concept was created to help our users split up content while keeping the page visually enjoyable for visitors.
- You can place in bullet points
- Attach photos and videos
- Create a table for information
The button tab names can be adjusted, so if you have a wide variety of services your company offers you can place it all on one page and users can easily browse through that information.
Tab Two Content
They can be utilized in a multitude of ways and can also be customized to fit your brand!
As displayed below, embedding a picture or video is no problem at all and can be a powerful tool to help compliment your content. As with a standard panel adding in links, buttons or directing the user to find out more information is all possible in this panel.
Panel 5: Parallax Panel Insert
This is a Parallax Panel!
This panel type should be reserved for a short eye catching blurb of information. As you can see, the words stay in place while the image scrolls behind it. We recommend around 85 - 100 characters in this section if possible. If you need assistance with a background image feel free to reach out to your account manager and they can help you choose one.
Another great addition is that the parallax panel allows for a button which can be a URL link, a phone number or email. Keep this in mind as it’s great for helping with lead generation!
Panel 6: Side by Side (Image)
Here is an example of a Side by Side panel with an image on the right!
They are a great tool that can be used to guide the users attention.

You can envision a similar concept as above, but this time you can place a relevant YouTube or Vimeo video here to help users understand the point you are making.
