51¶ºÄÌ

Uses: Putting two items side-by-side on a page, such as in the example with a photo on one side and text on the other. The Undergraduate 51¶ºÄÌ home page also uses this to put text side by side to break up their different options. Arts and Sciences uses it to display their list of Centers and Institutes.

An accordion can be used to put lots of text on a page without overwhelming the visitor. With the text hidden, they can choose to reveal more about what they want to read. You can see the School of Social Work uses the accordion snippet to add more content to their outcomes section without cluttering the page initially with more graphs and graphics that the visitor might not be interested in.

The accordion with the first panel opened is used just like the accordion above, with the difference of putting your most popular choice already opened so the visitor can get to it quickly.

A block quote highlights certain text so that visitors that are skimming the page clearly see it.

The Block Quote Float Right snippet puts the quote on the right of some other element like a block of text so that it is clearly associated with that area of text and pulled out for emphasis.

The Call To Action Module is used to highlight certain links or next steps you would like the visitor to make. It is typically located below an informational section trying to convince the visitor to take that action. You can see an example at the bottom of our Accounting degree page.

This snippet shows up under the general section, but is generally better displayed on a full-width page. It can highlight a group of pages about a particular topic that may be relevant to your visitor. A call-to-action (CTA) is displayed afterwards to encourage a next step.

The image list can provide a way to put multiple images with associated links on a page in a two-column display. The link is already styled and image is automatically sized to fit. The School of Humanities uses the image list to point their visitors to their career pathways and awards.

Tip: The text under the link should be limited to fit the space. Tease the next page through a quick summary of why the visitor should go to it.

This is our standard layout for faculty/staff lists in pages such as "Meet our Team" or "About Us". Most column titles can be changed if you need it, but we encourage site owners to keep them as consistent as possible so that visitors can clearly see differences.

For the faculty list, the name should link to the professors corresponding page in the Faculty Directory that is sourced from Digital Measures.

Some sites have chosen to combine the accordion snippet with the Manual Faculty List for better clarity into their structure such as School of Psychology's people page.

The Manual Staff List is the same as the Faculty Staff List in look and feel. The differences are in the profile highlights it provides. Again, the column names can be changed to fit your particular organization.

The Location column should also correspond with your building name in our campus map. 

The Two Column List snippet flows a list into two columns to use the available space in the width of the page to display list items.
