Social media feeds design pattern: Canada.ca design
The social media feeds widget is an in-page component that allows the latest posts from official Government of Canada social media accounts to be embedded on Canada.ca pages
When to use this pattern
- Use the social media feeds widget on pages where official GC social media accounts are relevant to the current context
- 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
- The social media feeds widget consists of a heading with panels for up to 3 social media accounts, each featuring a feed of recent posts
- The default heading for this widget is “Stay connected”
-
Each feed panel includes
- a heading that indicates which social media platform the account’s feed is drawn from, for example Facebook or YouTube
- a feed of the recent posts from that account, arranged in reverse chronological order
- the 3 most recent posts as the default setting, with a link to the account from which the feed is drawn to allow people to see more
- Use the defined presentation classes included in the Canada.ca WET theme
