Summary
A Headline and Media Marquee is a component that can be placed in an Enhanced Layout page. It can be customized with:
- Background image (with or without overlay) & text color
- Headline and subheading
- Call to action
- Flexible links
- Featured image or slideshow with display choices and optional caption
- Site search bar
The Headline and Media Marquee component is essentially a template that automatically organizes itself based on the content you place in it, allowing for flexible uses while still maintaining a consistent design.
