# Block layout The OpenChurch platform uses the Drupal core "Block layout" page by default to arrange blocks and build landing pages. This guide will explain each region used by the theme.

### Primary menu region The primary menu region renders the main navigation menu which also includes the logo. Most sites will not need to modify this area.

### Hero (full width) region The "Hero region" is primarily used for "Hero" and "Carousel" blocks.

The main navigation will overlap the hero or carousel for a nice visual effect.

For pages that do not have a block that appears in the region, the header will have a matte background (example below).

### Highlighted region The highlighted region has mostly core blocks that you will likely not need to change.

### Breadcrumb region OpenChurch does theme the breadcrumb block if placed within the Breadcrumb region. Most sites do not need a breadcrumb block.

### Content Above region The content above region will render blocks the full width of the page (ie no sidebar) above the main content area.

Example full-width block in "Content above" region

### Content region The content region is not full width and leaves space for a sidebar. The "body" content of most content types will render inside this region.

### Sidebar The sidebar region typically is used for 'basic' content blocks and Views blocks.

### Content Below Similar to "Conttent Above," this region makes blocks place full-width and underneath the main content area.

### Footer The footer region by default renders a custom configurable Footer block provided by OpenChurch.
