The Banner - bottom block is designed as an impact banner that can be used on the Landing page with sidebar and a standard Content page and is used to give pages a strong visual impression. It is designed for the top of your page, bottom block just refers to the block of colour under the image.

This banner should be used only once on a page.

This content type automatically appears at the top of the page irrespective of its position in the content list.
