Creating a Pull Quote

  • Click Colors for color adjustments
  • Save changes when finished

For Version 7.0:

  1. Return to Website panel
  2. Click Design > Site styles
  3. Modify style tweaks as needed

Additional Tips:

  • Pull quotes work best for important information, interview highlights, or testimonials
  • Any block type can be floated in text, including images
  • Format differently than regular text to create visual interest
  • Use pull quotes to break up long text sections
  • Ensure quoted content adds value to your page

You can apply this same wrapping technique to other blocks like images for varied layouts and improved visual flow.
