Recommended Image Sizes

Full page News Article or Landing Page

The featured image should be a minimum of 832 x 520 pixels.

NOTE: If the image is also going to be used as a link on the CIT home page, it will be cropped to a smaller size. Be sure that the most important area of the image is centered. Or you can designate the area you want centered, while loading the image in edit mode.

Minimum for Any Other Image Use

480 x 480 pixels.

Add Media/Image to Your Page

Once you've prepared the image, it can then be added to your page in one of two ways:

• Directly to the page, while in Edit Mode
• Add the image to the Media Browser, and then add it to your page.

WCAG AA compliance and Accessibility Guidelines

In the process of adding the image, you will be asked to provide Alternate Text, which makes content easier to understand, and helps people orient themselves to the content on your webpage.
