Smart Tips

"Above the fold" is a thing of the past. Users are accustomed to scrolling through content especially on their social media platforms. The same trends apply to the content you want to share with your members on your website. However, if you do not have any visual differentiation your members can get overwhelmed. Use an alternate background color to break up your content and make your chapter's content more digestible for your members. See how in our Knowledgebase.
