Usage

Where to use

  • Use these component patterns on home and landing pages.
    • Using 1 guide card component (with or without image and description) on a home or landing page is not recommended to maintain the visual consistency of the site.

When to use

  • Use the 2 guide card row pattern within your home or landing pages to showcase two sets of 2-6 links to related resources.
    • We recommend grouping related links together within a guide card. However, the guide cards within this pattern do not have to be associated thematically.
  • Use the 3 guide card row pattern within your home or landing pages to showcase three sets of 2-6 links to related resources.
    • We recommend grouping related links together within a guide card. However, all three guide cards do not have to be associated thematically to be a part of this pattern.

When to consider something else

  • Showcasing call-to-actions (CTAs) for major initiatives or content marketing items that should be described further through an image and description.
    • Alternative: Promo block, promoting content for major initiatives will stand out better as a single item with an image and description using a promo block.
  • Showcasing multiple content items such as articles, blogs, news, or events— while also highlighting the association between these content items.
  • Showcasing one primary CTA that should be more prominently displayed than all other information on the page.
