High Level Masthead Title
Subheading description for the high-level marketing page. Masthead images should be 1600 x 650 px. Height is variable based on image content and focus.
When to use high-level
High-level pages are the top pages linked from the main menu. These pages use the same features as the homepage template and are intended to promote the most important topics. For example, the Academics high-level page for each college would use components to highlight the academic benefits of the college, clicking through to the topics. For the best user experience, any pages following the high-level page should be standard-level page types.

The CTA layer
The call-to-action layer (below) links to central pages for Apply, Request info and Visit. If a chat is available, the visit link can be switched to the Chat option during chat hours. See K-State Online's example, which says "Chat with us".
The CTA layer is turned on by clicking the checkbox in properties when the file is checked out.
The CTA layer should only be turned on when it's contextually appropriate -- on pages that would typcally be in the path of a future student. For example, degree program pages and scholarship pages. Overuse of CTAs can cause users to ignore them.
