Related links design pattern: Canada.ca design
The related links pattern is a list of links to content that is related to the page on which it appears
When to use this pattern
- Use this pattern to provide links to content that is directly relevant to the content on the current page
- Do not use the related links pattern when a person’s flow must not be interrupted such as in a transactional process
How to use this pattern
-
Position the list of links after the main content of the page, but before the footer section
- a consistent location at the bottom of the content area helps a person recognize the function of this pattern
-
The default heading is "Related links"
- use more specific headings where possible to provide stronger context for a person
-
Do not add borders to this block
- the aim is to reduce visual noise and avoid "banner blindness" (where people automatically interpret content in boxes as ads)
- Use standard link styles
- Use bullets, not numbered lists
