New and updated modules/components for the new Design

 

All new elements have been added (partly updated) to “Organize Content in Contentstack”.

1. Main Teaser NEW

See updated version in “Organizes content in Contentstack” https://freshcells.atlassian.net/wiki/x/CIC_7Q

The main teaser is the new eye-catcher of each web page. It is accessible from 1:Create a Web page - Webpage” in Contentstack, and will replace the former H1 headline (white on red). As of today, in Main Teaser, it is still named “Page Title (will replace H1)”.

In Contentstack you will find different “tiers” which indicate the levels within each local website:

  • Home → not adjustable, pre-defined by DMC

  • 1st tier - all header items, e.g. Solutions, Products,… Support… About us, Inquiries

    • Not adjustable, pre-defined by DMC and handled by Central Content Management

  • 2nd tier - for example, Solutions - Automotive

    • Two different approaches a) web pages b) Landing pages (see the following explanations)

  • 3rd tier - all levels below,

 

Following you will find the example of the “Second tier teaser” which you would use for your b) Landing pages.

4. Headlines

image-20240110-091144.png

In the new design, the H1 Headline will be shown in th new main teaser. Because of that - and different from the old design - it may be recommended for some web pages to add additional H2 headlines to improve useability.

 

5. Spotlight slider and Spotlight page NEW

The so-called Spotlight slider on the HOME page will replace the Main Slider of the old design.

“Spotlight slider” is a new content type in Contentstack. During the change process, both content types can be maintained in parallel.

Start with (re-)creating the required images in the new size. See Image sizes for the new Design | Spotlight Slider

 

In Contentstack, please go to 1: Create a Webpage - Content option - Spotlight Slider https://eu-app.contentstack.com/#!/stack/blt5412ff9af9aef77f/content-type/home_image_teaser_slider/en/entry/blte4e48431a3660c3e/edit to maintain the Spotlight sliders.

By doing so, you will maintain the Spotlight page (UAT example https://test-new-emea.mitsubishielectric.com/fa/spotlight) at the same time. No additional work for you to do.

Users will access the Spotlight page, when they click “Show all” in the Spotlight slider.

    2. Max. 5 instances will be shown in the Spotlight slider on the Home page.

    3. All (15) instances will be shown in the new Spotlight page.

Add a new instance and localize the Spotlight slider and page at the same time.

 

In the Spotlight page, the system will take over the categorization of the web page you link to.

If the linked web page has not been categorized, the Spotlight page does not show any category.

6. Mega dropdown menu NEW

The mega dropdown menu will be created automatically when you create web pages and sub pages. The first level ( a) ) is always indicated as a button.

Example of Polish Support pages without an overview page to be clicked.

Apart from the first level button, the mega dropdown design will offer the option for only one more direct click to a page, i.e. either b) the overview page or c) the sub pages directly.

If you choose b), you need to ensure that you add links or teasers onto the overview page to make the sub pages acessible. This would be the recommended approach.
