Plugin presentation: CMS articles and blog posts in the spotlight

Hello everyone,

I'm excited to introduce you today to our latest plugins that showcase your content in the best light: the Lead Box for CMS articles and blog posts. These plugins offer the perfect solution to highlight your most important articles and posts in an impressive way and motivate your readers to dive deeper into your content.

The lead box

The lead box is not just another way to display articles. It brings a clear structure and clarity to your website by displaying the latest five articles - the most important article in the centre and four smaller ones around it. This design has proven to be extremely effective in grabbing readers' attention and encouraging them to read on.

The initial feedback from our customers has been so positive that even WoltLab itself has marked the plugin as recommended. It is a real added value for any WoltLab-based website that wants to present its content in an appealing and user-friendly way.

What makes the lead box so valuable

  • Increased visibility:
    The largest article is prominently displayed in the foreground and attracts attention - perfect for highlighting important content.
  • Clear structure:
    The combination of one large and four smaller articles ensures a tidy, well-organised layout that makes navigation easier.
  • Show diversity:
    By presenting four additional articles in a card design, the highlight box offers a wide variety of topics and encourages further reading.
  • More interaction:
    An attractive, user-friendly design encourages user interaction and increases the time spent on your website.

Whether for CMS articles or blog posts - the highlight box gives you the flexibility to emphasise your most important content exactly where it will have the greatest impact.

More plugin innovations from our company

In recent months, we have also developed other useful plugins that will take your website to the next level:

  1. Colour scheme changer: DarkMode / LightMode with one click
    • With this plugin, users and guests can switch the colour scheme of their choice directly. The button can be easily placed in the main menu or footer and saves the preference automatically.

      Tip: Place the colour scheme changer in the control centre for a quick but not intrusive change between LightMode and DarkMode

  2. Contact form as box (contact box)
    • This plugin makes it possible to display the contact form as a box on any page. The position is freely selectable so that you can integrate the box perfectly into your layout.

      Tip: Place the contact box directly in the footer of your homepage to get in touch with customers and visitors directly

  3. Forums list as a box (forums box)
    • A modern forums list in a box that can be placed anywhere and freely configured. It offers a clear and appealing presentation of your forums that your users will love.

Hello, it turned out great..... One question about this is for articles, but what would also be really cool would be a view for e.g. new videos from the gallery or new dates ..... that you can also use it as a kind of magazine.

Hello, the screenshot of the "contact box" does not fit. ;) VG
