Featured Card

With high visual emphasis, a Featured Card displays content and an action about a single subject.

A Featured Card is often used on a Landing page layout, such as a homepage, campaign page or section index page, but can be used simply to break up the monotony of long-form content.

An event variant of a Featured Card is often used for a single event that is of high-priority, high-impact, popular, or time-sensitive.

Usage​

Dos​

  • Use to call attention to most important features among all content
  • Limit to one per page; use occasionally on pages without sidebars
  • Include a high-quality image
  • Strongly consider using the included Button as a call-to-action
  • Use the “right image” variant if the subject of the image faces left
  • Use the “left image” variant if the subject of the image faces right

Don’ts​

  • Don’t write multiple paragraphs into the body
  • Don't use if a high-visual emphasis is needed on a homepage; consider a Hero instead
  • Don’t use images that contain text
  • Don't use images that are low resolution or low quality

Accessibility​

  • 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
