Highlight Box Example
We use Highlight components on the Drummond Miller site to create simple layouts with an image aligned to the left or right. Just enter your text as a short paragraph or two, choose your image, and set the image alignment. You can also add a custom heading if needed. If you use the main heading field, it will span the full width of the component. If you'd prefer the heading to sit above the text and alongside the image, use the custom heading instead.
While the Highlight component can also be used to promote other pages, we rarely use this option, as it depends on the linked page having promo info set up—something that’s often missing.
RTE with full width background colour
This is a standard rich text editor component with a background colour applied. It’s useful for breaking up long sections of copy and improving visual flow on text-heavy pages. Use it to highlight key content or simply to give the reader a visual pause, especially when the layout might otherwise feel dense or monotonous.
Collapse on Heading
A Collapse item is a content block that expands and contracts when clicked, allowing users to reveal or hide information. It's a great way to present content in a compact, user-friendly format.
FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) are a common use of Collapse items, but the component can be used for more than just questions—anything that benefits from being tucked away until needed, such as instructions, definitions, or grouped content.
Use a Collapsible List when you want to present multiple pieces of related information—such as FAQs, guidance steps, or grouped content—in a way that keeps the page tidy and easy to navigate. It’s especially helpful when the content might otherwise make the page feel long or overwhelming.
Location Call to Action with Details
The Location Call to Action with Details component is used to highlight a location-specific message alongside a supporting image and a clear call to action. You can add a label (with the option to use it as the heading), a short paragraph of text, and an image. On the right, the CTA box includes a heading, supporting text, and contact options. If a location is selected, it will pull in that office’s phone number and contact form; if not, general details are used. You can override the default phone number, contact form page, and button text if needed. This component is ideal for encouraging enquiries or bookings tied to a specific office or service.

Testimonial Example
Column One
The Column component is a flexible layout option that lets you display content side by side. If you don’t set column sizes, they’ll space evenly by default. You can also choose widths like half, one-third or one-quarter if you want more control—though this is rarely needed and is usually better handled using a Highlight component.
Column Two
Columns typically contain rich text, and you can include images, links, or headings as needed. Each column can have its own heading, and there’s an option to add a section heading above the full block. This layout is ideal for grouping content like service features or key messages in a clean, scannable format.
Column Three
You can apply a background colour to the full column section to help it stand out or break up long pages. The examples shown here use the same Column component—one with standard styling and one with background and smaller headings—demonstrating how versatile the layout can be while keeping content structured and accessible.

Location Call to Action
The Location Call to Action component is used to highlight a location-specific message with optional contact details and a form link. Once a location is selected, it will automatically pull in the relevant contact details. If no location is picked, the general contact information is shown instead. Optional overrides are available for the telephone number, contact form page, and form button text if you’re not using a location.

Location Call to Action (Verbose)
You can also toggle this verbose version to display the address and opening times - this only works when a location is selected. Optional overrides are available for the telephone number, contact form page, and form button text if you’re not using a location.
Section Links
The Section Links component displays related links in a button-style layout to support easy navigation within a section. You can either manually choose individual pages or select a parent page, which will automatically pull through its immediate child pages. While you can apply a background colour to this component, we generally leave it set to white to keep the layout clean and consistent.
Simple Call To Action
The Simple Call to Action component lets you add a heading and supporting text using a rich text editor, which also allows for images and links if needed. You can apply a background colour to help the section stand out or to break up longer blocks of content. It’s a flexible way to draw attention to key messages, links, or actions.
What is a Power of Attorney?
A Power of Attorney in Scotland is a legal document that gives someone else the authority to take actions or make decisions on your behalf.
You choose the person you wish to help you, known as an Attorney, and decide what powers they should have. This legal arrangement can cover decisions about your financial and property matters, as well as your personal welfare and medical care.
By setting it up in advance, you retain control over who will manage your personal and financial affairs if you’re ever unable to do so yourself due to illness, injury, or a loss of mental capacity.
Why Should I Grant a Power of Attorney?
The purpose of granting a Power of Attorney is to ensure that, if you become unable to manage your day-to-day finances or make decisions about your welfare matters, your interests are safeguarded by someone you trust. This could include decisions relating to your daily routine, medical decisions, or property matters.
If a Power of Attorney is not in place, your family may need to apply to court to obtain the necessary legal authority—an often time-consuming and costly process. Without this, banks and other organisations won’t accept instructions, even from close family members.
Court-appointed powers often involve ongoing costs, such as annual reporting to the Office of the Public Guardian and compulsory insurance.
What Would Happen Without a Power of Attorney?
If you were to lose mental capacity or become seriously unwell and had not appointed a Power of Attorney, no one—not even your closest family members—would have automatic authority to manage your financial or personal affairs. Banks, healthcare providers, and other organisations require formal legal authority before they will act on instructions. Without this, important decisions and everyday tasks may be delayed at a time when action is urgently needed.
The Impact on Your Family
In these situations, your loved ones may need to apply to the court for the right to make decisions on your behalf. This process, known as a guardianship application, can be lengthy, expensive, and emotionally difficult. It involves legal paperwork, potential court hearings, and often comes at a time when your family is already under considerable stress and pressure. Even with the best intentions, this route can place an unnecessary burden on those closest to you.
Why It's Important to Plan Ahead
Without a Power of Attorney document in place, there is no guarantee that the person appointed by the court will be someone you would have chosen. The process can also involve ongoing responsibilities, such as annual reporting to the Office of the Public Guardian and paying for compulsory insurance. By setting up a Power of Attorney in advance, you retain control over who makes decisions for you and ensure they can act quickly and confidently, avoiding unnecessary delays and complications.
