Highlight boxes - with images

Use the Highlight boxes - with images component to display a limited number of highlighted choices that offer alternatives pathways for exploring your content.

Either 2, 3, or 4 boxes may be used. At large window sizes, all boxes will display on a single row. For smaller windows, the boxes will shrink and then switch to display on multiple rows. For small displays such a phone in portrait mode, the boxes will stack vertically.

Each box must have an image. The images:

  • Must have an aspect ratio of 16x9. Recommended pixel sizes are either 400x225 or 800x250.
  • Must not have a field of purple at the top that would blend with the purple border at the top of the image area.
  • Must fill the area without whitepace.
  • Must not have text overlaid on the image.

All boxes must link to another page.

Each box may optionally have:

  • A headline, the large purple text under the image. The headline must be short, e.g., 3-6 words.
  • A single paragraph of text underneath the headline.
  • A button that adds a call to action.
