Best Practice Recommendations (Magnet/Middle)

Graphics / Layout

• Pages containing multiple areas of small vertical contain can often best be displayed in a right or left sidebar, rather than the center of the page.
  • A 2 column layout may also be a strong option when needing to display more than 1-2 lists of vertical content
• Utilize clear, impactful BCPS-approved graphics to ensure consistent, meaningful branding
• Where appropriate, use built-in Editor Styles to highlight important information
  
  • Include punctuation in highlighted Editor Styles to ensure intonation change by screen readers which may not pick up colors/shading.
• Increase page balance by centering smaller standalone graphics with associated text - rather than left aligning.

Styling / App Selection

• Left Nav: Consider using the option to hide less important links (e.g. to individual themes) when they appear elsewhere (e.g. in the bulleted list)
• The Accordion app can be used in the right sidebar to provide quick vertically displayed access to related information that needs to be presented in sequence.
