A digital news organization by and for Southwest Minneapolis
We're not currently hiring for any positions. Think you're a good fit for our team? Shoot us a note at info@southwestvoices.news.
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.

● We are looking for a candidate who can communicate clearly, and is comfortable using a range of software platforms (e.g. SalesForce, HubSpot, etc.) to manage leads, track sales, and produce reports
