Staff Listing

A Staff List layout can be used to display staff information.  Staff members can be organized by categories.

Any webpage requiring the use of a Staff List should at minimum use:

  • Text Editor Component (or Text Editor with Of Note)
    • should contain title (Heading 1)
    • should contain an introduction to the stafflist (optional if title is clear)
  • Staff List Component
    • staff can be listed by category:
      • category name
    • each staff member  contains
      • name (required)
      • title
      • location
      • email (clickable or not)
      • phone
      • biographical text
      • hidden content
      • image

note: Multiple categories of Staff Listings can be created using a single Staff Listing Component.

Example Pages Using the Staff List Component

Using two rows:

  • first row: Text Editor — contains Page Title and opening description
  • second row: Staff Listing — Category Title and staff members (image, name, title, location, phone, email, bio, hidden content)
    • this example uses the same component to add another staff category

Using two rows:

  • first row: Text Editor — contains Page Title and contact information
  • second row: Staff List
    • first group of staff does not have a category title
    • second group of staff has category title
