Drag-and-drop content blocks make it easy to customize your Mailchimp landing pages. Use content blocks to add or edit text, images, products, promo codes, and more.
In this article, you'll learn about the different types of content blocks and how to use them.
Things to know
Here are a few things to know before you start.
- To learn more about landing pages, check out About Landing Pages.
- Content blocks are also what you use to build and design emails. For more information on each email builder and their content blocks, check out About Mailchimp’s Email Builders
- Our responsive layouts and templates will constrain images that are in an Image, Image Group, Image Card, or Image + Text content block only. Large images added to a text block may distort your design when viewed on mobile.

Add and move content blocks
To add a content block into a layout, click and drag the block into your design.
To move a block, click and hold the handle in the top left of a content block, drag the block to where you want it to go, and release.
When you move a content block, we’ll highlight the Preheader, Header, Body, Column, and Footer sections to indicate where in the layout you're about to drop the block. When you move a block to a different section, it takes on any style preferences for that section.
Set style and settings
Use the Style and Settings tabs to customize the design of individual content blocks. Click a content block in your landing page to view the editor, and choose the Style or Settings tab to make changes.
Style
The Style tab is where you’ll make changes to font type and color, text alignment, button appearance, and more. Preferences applied to an individual block will override style choices for the entire section.
Settings
The Settings tab includes additional customization options, such as the number of columns, where to place an image caption, or which products to display.
Each content block type has different style and settings options, so try a few to see which best achieves the design you're looking for.
Delete a content block
To permanently delete a content block, follow these steps.
- In your layout, place your cursor over the block you want to delete. A menu bar will appear at the top of the content block.
- Click the Trash icon.
- In the Are you sure? pop-up modal, click Delete.
