General Guidance
- Use a variety of components to keep people engaged as they scroll. Don’t use too many of one component type on a page and follow the guidance in this Style Guide in selecting the right component for your content.
- Experiment with components. There’s probably a better component for that middle-of-the-page content than paragraph text — try out the Collapsible Content component, Grid component, or a variation of the flexible Column Control component.
- Don’t get too cramped. Use spacers to add breathing room and negative space between components.
- Let photography do some of the work. Use vibrant and content-specific photography to enhance page visuals. The flexible Column Control component is great for incorporating photography into pages.
