Main page custom widget

I really like how these widgets are built on the insided community main page. Which widget was selected in order to do this?


We have a few initiatives I would love to be able to promote on our main  a similar fashion

I think both are out-of-the-box Banner widgets. You can add images and position them Right, Left, Center and add up to two buttons, in addition to text. I’ve used it for similar layouts.

Confirmed

Two images of the Dev Tools Elements view confirming it’s the banner widget

I also did try using a HTML widget in a 2:1 container. But that just was not as easy on the eyes.

 

The banner widget gave everything I needed.
