What are Marketing Cards?
Marketing cards are a simple and accessible way to promote content. Cards stack in one column on small screens, and stack in two columns on large screens.
Marketing tiles come in two variants:
Standard Variant - This card maintains standard colors and should be used the VAST majority of the time
Campaign Variant - This card takes custom colors and is intended for very special occasions. It should be used minimally
Best Practices
Image Spec:
Keep as much text off of images as possible. This becomes an accessibility problem, and is also bad for SEO
If there is text included in the artwork, you MUST also include in the description on the card
Image size = 1000 x 500 px
Use brand colors where possible to continue enforcing brand identity
Text Expectations:
Content Set-up
Required Content
Header - The title on the card
Description - The description on the card. This should be short and sweet - ideal case keep this to 1 or 2 lines, but should wrap to a maximum 3 lines on small screens
Image - Refer to image spec above
Image Description
CTA Text - This is the text inside of the action button. Max 3 words, and should be in
Title Case
CTA url - the url that the user will be redirected to when they click on the card
Internal routes - must start with
/
for example,/account
External routes - should contain the full url
Custom Colors
This should only be toggled if you are creating a ‘campaign variant’ marketing tile. Keep in mind, these should be used minimally
Toggling this flag allows you to set custom colors for the different elements on the card
IMPORTANT NOTE: You are responsible for validating that the color combinations you have set are AA compliant. Check Accessible Colors | WCAG 2.0 AA and AAA color contrast checker before publishing
Terms
This should only be toggled if your card is related to a campaign or initiative that has terms and conditions associated
Terms text variant: if you’d like your terms to pop up in a modal, paste the copy in this field
Terms button variant: if you’d like to redirect the user to a separate terms page, set the url here
Marketing Card Groups
Once you have created your individual cards, you must create a set of marketing cards that will all show on the UI together. It is ok to have only one card in a group, up to around 6 maximum. The order you rank them in this list will be the order they show to the user
Enable Visibility
Now that you have a marketing card group established, you can add it to the homepage.
