This kitchen sink of elements page uses every visual page element available in the UW Theme. As you might notice, it’s much too much content for one page. For this page we wanted to showcase all of the options.
This theme has been browser-tested across devices and meets a WCAG 2.0 AA standard.
(See documentation about using and contributing to UW Theme.)

“This is a stylized quote. It can only be used in 1 column layouts. Because we wanted to add design flexibility while maintaining responsiveness, usability, and accessibility standards, we needed to make some tough choices about which design elements could be used in 1, 2, and 3 column layouts.”

- 1,
- 2, and

This is another text block above two image page elements.
Every row may have a headline and a background image
Text block in a one column layout
This is a text block used in a 1 column layout. We added an image using WordPress’s visual editor. The method is very similar to uploading and adding an image in other web editors and image processing programs.
There is no character limit on text boxes. This layout choice might be used for stories or larger blocks of text. Many pages in UW–Madison websites don’t need to be visually engaging, they need to relay information. This page element works well for these needs.
See the WiscWeb WordPress Service site for examples of the full list of page elements, along with links to demonstrations, descriptions, and links to KB articles.

As I walk through
This wicked world
Searchin’ for light in the darkness of insanity.
I ask myself
Is all hope lost?
Is there only pain and hatred, and misery?
And each time I feel like this inside,
There’s one thing I wanna know:
What’s so funny ’bout peace love & understanding? Ohhhh
What’s so funny ’bout peace love & understanding?
And as I walked on
Through troubled times
My spirit gets so downhearted sometimes
So where are the strong
And who are the trusted?
And where is the harmony?
Sweet harmony.
‘Cause each time I feel it slippin’ away, just makes me wanna cry.
