BGA Blocks

This is page is a showcase of each custom BowerGroupAsia block and instructions on how to use them.

Background Container

This block is simply a container for other blocks. It allows you to pick an image for a background, and a color to overlay on top. If you just want a solid color background, ignore the image field and ensure the colors opacity is at 100%.

This example shows an image with a dark green overlay and some text blocks inside the container. The inner padding is provided by a Spacer block.

Call to Action

Button

The button block has three settings. First, select the link, entering a URL, the button text, and whether to open in a new window.

Next choose your style. Each main theme color is available as a standard button, outlined button, or text with arrow.

Finally, you can choose to center the button.

The default is one button per row as shown here.

Green Blue Outline Magenta Centered

Button Group

To display multiple buttons inline, wrap them in a Button Group block. You can also set the group to be centered.

Case Study Header

The Case Study Header is only available on the Case Studies single posts so it cannot be shown here. You can select a background color and choose to use light or dark text. It comes populated with a heading, text, breadcrumbs, and a tag to display the Case Study Industry.

Case Study Industry

This is also only available on the Case Studies single posts. It will display a link to the case studies Industry taxonomy archive.

Contained Content

This block will keep the content contained in a centered column. You can give it a background color and select white or dark text. If there is a background color selected, top and bottom padding will be added.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Duis accumsan, diam ornare molestie feugiat, lectus diam hendrerit magna, sit amet malesuada purus velit eget ipsum. Morbi sit amet mauris eget justo pulvinar cursus. Phasellus et turpis nec odio ultricies aliquam. Mauris nec libero arcu. Nam felis mi, tempus nec mollis non, ullamcorper ac leo. Etiam eu orci elit. Quisque non consequat metus. Cras placerat sapien ut augue.

Note the Padding Added Due to the Background Color

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Duis accumsan, diam ornare molestie feugiat, lectus diam hendrerit magna, sit amet malesuada purus velit eget ipsum. Morbi sit amet mauris eget justo pulvinar cursus. Phasellus et turpis nec odio ultricies aliquam. Mauris nec libero arcu. Nam felis mi, tempus nec mollis non, ullamcorper ac leo. Etiam eu orci elit. Quisque non consequat metus. Cras placerat sapien ut augue.

Call to Action

Featured Case Study

This block will showcase a Featured Case Study. By default it will show the Case Study post title and excerpt, but you can optionally add your own title and text if you wish.

Each block will always have a side image, a top section with heading and text, and a bottom section with a call to action to read the Featured Case Study.

You can select a random post or choose a specific link. You can also give each half it’s own background color. By default, there is no top padding on the top half. If using a colored background, add a Space block above the title.

For best display, you’ll want to use a landscape orientated image.

Image Content Columns

This block doubles as a common theme Page Header which can be found in the BGA Patterns section of the post editor.

You can select up to three images, choose which side is text, give the content area a background color, and even choose how wide you’d like the image.

This is a Heading for the Content Area.

Nulla congue nisi at efficitur molestie. Duis arcu sem, efficitur ac ante eget, mattis viverra ligula. Praesent a tellus ac ex vulputate posuere. Suspendisse molestie elit non leo rhoncus efficitur. Mauris convallis, leo sit amet aliquet elementum, erat eros egestas mi, a fermentum nulla urna sit amet metus.

Map and Content

This block is pre populated with the image below, but you could add your own if you choose. By default, the heading is slightly larger than most H2’s and set to green, though you can set a different color in the editor.

Where We Work

Add your own text here.

Page Header

If used, this block should be first on your page. It provides a full image background, and you can add a title, text, breadcrumbs, and buttons. By default, the content will be in the lower left, but you can also set it to center. Breadcrumbs are also included by default, you can delete them in the editor if they are undesired.

Rainbow Bar

The rainbow bar is simply a 10px high decorative divider. It can be set to full width (default), wide width, or center width.

Recent Items

The Recent Items block will show three Insights & News posts based on your selected category. The heading is generated dynamically based on your selection, and you can also add optional text if you like.

This is one of the only blocks to have padding added by default, but you can choose to remove the section padding if you like. You can also remove the header entirely. Finally, a background color can be given to this block as well.

If you select the option, “Sticky Article”, it will show just one item, the News Item you’ve tagged as “sticky” that is your featured article. The example below is for the category “Reports”

Featured Reports

Services Cards

This will display a list of all child pages of the main Solutions > Services page. There are no settings for this block.

Areas of Expertise

Simple Call to Action

The Simple CTA block provides only a few options. You can set a background color, change text alignment between left or center, and add up to two links. Links will always appear as white outline buttons, so light colored backgrounds are not recommended.

Slide Carousel

This block is designed for the homepage header, so it will always be 100% of the viewport height. It could be used elsewhere if desired but there are currently no options to reduce height so the sites navbar will always sit on top.

Slides can be images or video, and it will include a bottom navigation area.

Solutions Overview

There are just a couple of setting for this block. First, you’ll want to add a short blurb for the heading text and a call to action. Then, you’ll need to add an image and provide for the small textarea underneath. The title is just a standard Heading block so you can set a different color for it if you like.

Create Your Own Solutions Title

Space

The majority of the custom BowerGroupGroup blocks contain no top and bottom padding. This is to allow for their use in any situation without causing unwanted gaps if you want elements closer or farther apart.

WordPress has a native Spacer block that you will use much more often than this. However, it is not responsive so this block is an alternative should you need to adjust spacings for different browser sizes.

This block only uses REM units which is equal to 16px in most browsers. There are six sizes to add when using this block, so for example, if you want a lot space between elements on a desktop computer, but little or no space between those same elements on a mobile device you could set the first three sizes (xs, sm, md) to 0, 1, and 2 respectively, and the next three (lg, xl, xxl) to 6.

Squares

The Squares block has a few options, the biggest being that it can be used a slider. If using more than four slides you’ll likely want to enable that option, but squares will wrap onto a new row otherwise. Slider’s will look best with the Squares block set to full width alignment.

You can also give the titles a color which will add a little decorative divider, and you can also offset each square. When using offset squares in a slider, it’s recommended to use an even number of slides. Otherwise as the slides loop back around there will be a funky little layout shift.

This the First Square Title

Stat Counter

The Stat Counter can accept up to four stats. You can choose a color, and for each stat you can choose to prepend a plus sign or add a Call to Action.

You are also given an option for “Large” or “Small” stats. Using the small option will stack the stats and allow the block to fit on a row with additional content. Use the “Content and Stats” Block Pattern when you want to use this option.

Testimonial with Content

This block is similar to the Stat Counter Block Pattern, it’s designed for a testimonial to be featured on the same row as additional content.

You can choose if you want the content on the left or right side, and you can also spruce up your testimonial by changing its style to one with an image. The testimonial background and text colors can be set with this option.

This is a Top Title

Top Title

The Top Title block is a small piece of text designed to be placed above headings. You can control it’s color, font weight, and alignment.

Top Title Navigation

This block will search the page for all Top Titles and create a navigation menu for them to link within the page. Contextually, it should probably only be used at the top of the page beneath a Page Header block.

It will grab the full text of the title, so when using this, it’s recommended to use short and to the point titles (“Our Work”, “About Us”, etc).
