Benefit
A Benefit post is ideal for creating and displaying Benefits of your offerings to clients. A Benefit can be displayed in the front-page slideshow. It also comes with the capability of attaching an image which is automatically adjusted to fit into the website layout. What’s particularly cool about a Benefit post, is that it provides the ability to attach a series of images, thumbnails of which are automatically created and adjusted to fit into the website layout. Lastly, a Benefit post enables free tagging (just like labels), helping you make the most from the built-in taxonomy system.
Blog entry
A blog entry, similar in form to a story, is ideal for creating and displaying content that carries images and informs or engages website visitors. Press releases, site announcements, and informal blog entries may all be created with a blog entry content type. By default, a blog entry is automatically featured on the site's initial home page, and provides the ability to post comments. It has the option to be displayed into front page slide show. It provides the ability to attach an image which is automatically adjusted to fit into the websites layout. Blog entry enables free tagging (just like labels), taking the taxonomy one step further.
Product
A Product entry is ideal for creating and displaying products. It features options like being promoted on the front page slide show, adding product descriptions and more. It provides the ability to attach one or multiple images, which are then automatically adjusted, along with their thumbnails, to fit into the website’s layout.
Service
A Service post is ideal for creating and displaying services. It has the option to be displayed into front page slide show. It provides the ability to attach an image which is automatically adjusted to fit into the websites layout.

Showcase
A Showcase post is ideal for creating and displaying showcases. It has the option to be displayed into front page slide show.

Slideshow entry
A Slideshow entry is ideal for creating commercial banners as well as messages for your website. Use it to promote any page of your website or URL into the front page slide show. It can carry a title, a teaser and an image linking to an internal path or external link.
Team Member
The Team member post is ideal for creating a page for each of your team members. Along with a description of your team member’s position, responsibilities and qualifications, it provides the ability to attach an image, which is automatically adjusted to fit into the website’s layout. And what’s great about Team member posts, is that they are all collected under the “About us” page.
Testimonial
The Testimonial entry is perfect to showcase the words of love from your users and customers. Use it to easily publish testimonials on your site. A special View Block and a View Page are already configured to show them off perfectly.
Image handling
