Contact Page
How to use a Contact Page
A Contact Page highlights a specific person or office—such as a staff member, researcher, or department—and can include their contact details.
- Use the General contact information for departments, units, or a generic email/phone number.
- Use A person or Role's contact information for specific team members or notable individuals.
- Add basic contact information.
- Customize the page using Page Components. All are available except Callout and Summary Box.
- Create a staff directory using a Listing Page to show a list of individuals from your agency.
