Headline Slide

The Headline Slide is part of the Ionic Layout Component Set. This slide is designed to occupy a full Page in the app and other Components should not be added to a Page when the Headline Slide is used. The Headline Slide allows app end users to swipe left and right in the slide carousel. 

Ideas for Using Headline Slide

  • Recognize event sponsors, by displaying each company’s logo and their sponsorship level. Create a gallery of your company’s community outreach. Display photos from volunteer days and use the headline text to highlight the nonprofit or town name.
  • Show a product gallery by setting each image to link to a specific product page. Use the headline text to describe the product users are seeing.
  • Showcase your products or services in action. Add photos of classes in action, products in use, or a typical office visit to allow users to see what working with you could be like. Use the headline to give more context into the photo.
  • Under Settings, toggle on Autoplay to automatically rotate through the carousel for app users.

Pro Tip: This Component is designed to be the only Component on a Page as it will occupy the entire Page.
