Anatomy

  1. Heading
  2. Subheading
  3. Content - freeform content area
  4. Background Image
  5. Form area (optional)

Default buttons are styled to work on light backgrounds while maintaining a high enough contrast ratio, while the inverse buttons are used when a button needs to be placed over a dark background.

Usage Guidelines

Useful as an introduction at the top of a page to provide visual interest and a strong call to action.

Accessibility

Make sure to set the correct heading level for the subheading/heading text. If using this component at the top of a page in place of a standard page title, the heading level should be set to an H1.

Check the contrast of the text against the selected background image to make sure that everything is readable enough. There are several modifiers that can place a solid background color behind the heading, subheading, and content or different levels of a gradient for a more subtle effect while still helping readability. If you don't have any regular body size copy in the content and only have a heading, you can get away with a lower contrast level since the text on the heading will be much larger.
