Feature boxes

Feature boxes are usually used on home pages and landing pages for on-page navigation to highlight 'featured' pages:

  • Typically used in a row of 3 feature boxes.
  • Can be used with or without images.
  • Can be 2 different widths, depending on if they are used in the left (main) column or a full width page.
  • Don't 'mix and match' different widths of feature box on the same page.

Practical examples of pages that use feature boxes

How to add a feature box

  1. Add Acc: feature box and give it a Name 'Feature box - [description]'.
  2. Image is optional (standard 930x500px responsive image recommended for this).
  3. Title is optional (but recommended) heading for your feature box.
  4. To create feature box with several links, create links as bullet point list. You then need to manually edit HTML. Click the 'edit HTML source' button and replace the <ul> tag at the top of the page with <ul class="menu">.
  5. Custom code field is for code for forms or feeds - contact the Web Team if you want to add either to your pages.
  6. For (narrow) left column boxes, check 'display in left column' and 'Hide underneath content'. (If you don't check 'Hide underneath content' it will appear on the page twice!)
  7. For (wide) full page width boxes, ignore these last two check boxes.

Showing off all feature boxes on one page...

For demonstration only, don't do this on a real page!

Left column feature boxes

This style allows the right hand navigation to still be shown so you can also display highlight boxes.
