Introduction

Cards group information into flexible containers to let users browse a collection of related items and actions. Page cards feature other pages of the website prompting the user to navigate to these pages through clicking or tapping on page cards.

Visual Style 

Boundaries

Cards can have visual boundaries or not (adjusting subtlety)

The left card is more subtle than the right. Design options include card border (or not), elevation (box shadow) or not, corner radius (inherits from global shape settings), text box inset/padding - which impacts border radius of the image, etc.

Behavior

  • Interactive cards include a default, hover and active state.

  • Where cards have a single focusable element, the whole card (container) links to the primary link destination and any CTA is effectively decorative.

  • Where cards have more than one focusable element (not expected within MVP) this creates an additional tab stop.


Usage

Do’s

  • Use product cards when you need to feature a group of products. Cards are never shown by themselves, always within lists.

Don’ts

  • Don’t use page cards when you only need a simple call to action. Use a CTA Block instead.

  • Don’t use page cards when you need sequential text elements. Cards should be independent in nature and make sense in isolation.

  • Don’t use page cards when you only want to ‘decorate’ something to look like a card.
