Section catalogue
The content-section catalogue, the closed set of section types a page may hold and a template may render. Section type = content KIND (coarse); layout/variant is the template’s job. Additive-only: types and fields are added, never removed or re-shaped, within a contract major. Every section is independently omittable, a template must degrade gracefully when any subset is absent.

Section titled “homeHero, Home hero”The home opener. EVERY field optional: eyebrow/title derive from branding when absent, the lead OMITS when absent (never a fabricated placeholder), buttons fall back to platform defaults.
Pages: home
| Field | Kind | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
eyebrow |
text | no | Defaults to the charity’s name. |
title |
text | no | Defaults to the charity’s tagline. |
lead |
text | no | A lead paragraph; omitted entirely when blank. |
primaryLabel |
text | no | Main button label (default: Donate now). |
primaryHref |
url | no | Main button link (default: #donate). |
secondaryLabel |
text | no | Second button label (default: Our story). |
secondaryHref |
url | no | Second button link (default: /about). |
givingStyle |
select | no | How this hero offers giving: ‘form’ (default) places the donation widget beside the copy; ‘button’ renders copy only, the primary button becomes the giving path (defaulting to /donate). Templates MUST render both. |
imageUrl |
image | no | Background photograph for the hero (uploaded through the platform pipeline). Superseded by images when that carries any entry, render imageUrl only when images is absent/empty. The template must TREAT the photo (scrim/tint from its own palette variables), never place it raw, and omit for its designed no-photo state. |
photoFraming |
select | no | How hero photographs meet the hero. ‘fill’ (default): the hero keeps its designed shape and photos crop to fill it (use each photo’s focus to pick the surviving slice). ‘whole’: the hero adapts toward the photo’s own shape (height-clamped) so the FULL scene stays visible, the vista treatment for wide landscape photographs; templates overlay or stack their copy accordingly. |
images |
items | no | Hero photographs (0–6, uploaded through the platform pipeline). One = a main image; several = rotation material, a template with supports.heroImagery renders at least the first and MAY place the hero_carousel island (or a CSS scroll strip) for the rest. Like every field: absent means the template’s designed no-photo state, never a placeholder. |
images[].imageUrl |
image | yes | The photograph. |
images[].alt |
text | no | Accessible description; empty renders as decorative (alt=“”). |
images[].focus |
select | no | Which part of the photograph survives the fill-crop (templates render photos cover-style, so an aspect mismatch crops, this picks the slice that stays). Maps to background-position/object-position; absent means centre. |
