Design Best Practices
The CMS templates make it easy to display and organize your content. Check out a few of our tips to make the most of the design tools available to you.
Colors
- Leverage the color options available to you within the design system, including black, white, grays and red.
- Repeat colors to send important visual cues. For example, a helpful links sidebar that appears across multiple pages could always be red.
- Limit your color palette to improve user experience. Use only one or two accent colors throughout your site to build brand recognition.
Grids
- Organize content with a grid. Consider distributing statistics or photos across a grid. For example, in Cascade, you can use cards within a grid, and in Drupal, you can use a text grid.
Tables
- Present data in columns and rows. If you'd like to present images or some other type of content in columns and rows, please use a grid. If you must use a table for layout, add role="presentation" to your table tag. This tells assistive devices that the table contains content that is not data.
