Title

Mandatory

Use the applied title of the institution, as specified in the Registry of Applied Titles.

Use the legal title if the applied title is not available.

Do not use acronyms or abbreviations.

Image

Optional

The 1200x726 space behind the H1 can be used for a banner or image. The image does not have to take up the whole space and can be customised as needed.

The image and H1 should be visually distinct from the Canada.ca homepage to prevent confusion between institutional landing pages and Canada.ca.

If you don't use an image, the background should be white.

Variation: The class bg-hide-sm hides the image on tablet, bg-hide-xs hides the image on mobile and bg-right positions the image on the right.

Super task button

Optional

Only include a super task button if there is a specific task that has at least a third of the clickthrough on the institution's home page. This is intended mainly for signing into an account.

Features institution-specific top tasks.

This component provides shortcuts to the institution's top tasks. However, if all of the institution's top tasks are already included as direct links under Services and information, do not duplicate them here. In that case, you can choose not to include this component.

Variations: Replace the colcount-md-2 class with colcount-md-1 to make it 1 column instead of 2.
