Your words appear here after you type a headline.

Fit

What it suits and where it falls short

You type

What each post size is for, explained on one slide

Best for: The first slide of a carousel that explains a topic.

Works well for

  • Carousel covers
  • What a new rule or price change means
  • Questions readers keep asking
  • Step-by-step posts

Watch out for

  • The closing line promises more slides; change it or leave it empty when the post is a single image.
  • The photo is smaller than in other templates, so fine detail is lost.
  • Pick a highlight colour that differs from the background, or the highlight disappears.
  • At 4:5, headlines over about 85 characters get smaller; the photo stays the same size.
