Global Component

Create Once, Reuse Everywhere.

The Global Component in Vertex Forge lets you create reusable content blocks that can be referenced across multiple pages and layouts. Whether it’s a branded header, a recurring call-to-action, a newsletter signup, or a footer, you define it once and reuse it wherever needed.

Managing your recurring content becomes effortless, consistent, and scalable, with no more copy-pasting or duplicating the same setup in multiple places.

Use Cases

Global Components are ideal for content you want to reuse across your project without duplicating configuration or structure. You define them once, then insert them into any page or layout using a Global Component Reference, all without ever rebuilding or breaking design consistency.

Some of the most common use cases include:

  • Headers are used across multiple layouts.

  • Footers or trust sections that apply to all pages.

  • Calls-to-action that appear on marketing pages.

  • Banners or global promotional blocks.

  • Contact Forms are placed across multiple content types.

  • Content snippets that require centralized maintenance.

By separating these recurring blocks into Global Components, you gain true scalability. Your editors and designers stay focused, and your users get a consistent, branded experience — no matter where they land.

Configuration Options & Features

The Global Component is one of the most powerful building blocks in Vertex Forge. It enables the reuse of actual content at scale while maintaining complete flexibility in structure and design. Whether you’re working on a marketing site, internal platform, or extensive enterprise system, Global Components reduces duplication, improves design consistency, and makes ongoing updates a breeze.

Combined with Global Component References and Theme support, they enable a seamless editing experience and scalable delivery, eliminating developer bottlenecks and redundant workflows.

Use them to build smarter, not harder, and enjoy a cleaner, faster, and more manageable content experience from day one.

Container Type

This option defines the HTML tag used to wrap your Global Component when it’s rendered into the page via a reference.

Available types include:

  • div (default)

  • section

  • nav

  • header

  • footer

Select the correct type to ensure semantic correctness for accessibility, SEO, and developer clarity. For example, using a footer for site-wide footers helps search engines and screen readers interpret your content correctly.

Content

The content area is the actual body of your Global Component, which is built using any content components available in your project.

You can insert any available nestable component here, like structured content blocks, CTAs, rich text, media, forms, navigation, or even nested components.

This lets you create fully modular and production-ready content sections without writing any code. You can also preview everything visually as you build.

Theme

Each Global Component can be themed independently using the Component Theme system.

This allows you to:

  • Apply a consistent design across all uses

  • Adapt to specific use cases or layouts.

  • Switch between light and dark or campaign-specific designs.

  • You can also combine this with Theme Presets for global styling or manual overrides for unique styles.

Your reusable content doesn’t have to look generic. Global Components are flexible enough to fit anywhere, visually and structurally.
