Promotional feature banner design pattern: Canada.ca design

Promotional feature banners are in-page components used to promote government-wide and institution-specific activities, initiatives, programs, and services.

When to use this pattern

  • Use this component to promote timely, current activities and initiatives
  • Only use this component on navigation or landing pages; do not use with destination content
  • Do not use this component when a person’s flow must not be interrupted, as in a transactional process
  • Do not duplicate content from other promotional components on the page

How to use this pattern

  • Promotional feature banners are full-width, narrow-height components that comprise text, imagery, and links
  • A maximum of 65 characters is allowed for all text (including link label)
  • Both text and imagery must be linked, but all links in the feature banner must point to the same destination; alternatively, the entire container must operate as a single linked area
  • Textual elements must be coded as HTML text—do not embed text into imagery
  • To ensure responsiveness at varying screen sizes, do not use a single static image for this component
  • Use the defined presentation classes included in the Canada.ca WET theme
  • For image sizing details, consult the Canada.ca GitHub page
