Card Elements

Each card includes an image, heading, body text, and a call to action (cta). However, only the heading is required. Here are some possible combinations of required elements and card variants.

Image omitted

Call to Action

Body text omitted

Call to Action

Usage

Dos

• Use the Default Card variant for informational content, such as programs or resources
• Use the Storytelling Card variant for news articles or digital stories
• Always include a title and link
• Keep Card title short for quick scanning
• Consider creating a collection of Cards, rather than a single Card

Don’ts

• Don’t use Cards for a simple action; use a Text Link or Button instead
• Don’t inconsistently use images or links
• Don’t mix and match Card variants within the same collection
• Don’t repeat content (like the same image) in a collection
• Don't use more than one taxonomy item in Storytelling cards

Implementation notes

You can modify the look of the card with modifiers. These modifiers allow you to create cards with a gray background and no border.

Card with a gray background using modifier

<div class="bux-card bux-card--gray"></div>

Card with no border using modifier

<div class="bux-card bux-card--no-border"></div>

Accessibility

• All cards must have one link within them that is reachable by the keyboard and is not hidden from assistive technology. The overlay link that makes the whole card clickable is not accessible so either the headline or the call-to-action must also be a link.
• Make sure to write appropriate alternative text if including an image in your card.
• See the WebAIM website for more information on writing alternative text for images.
• Calls-to-action should use informative text. Having several links that say “Read more” but all go to different places is a bad experience for assistive technology users.
