Collaborate

The collaborate section is used at the bottom of mostly every page like a final CTA and contact. We end with a strong use of a red card to reinforce the brand color.

Anatomy

The collaborate section is made up of three blocks.

Collaborate anatomy
  1. Section title sets the topic of the section.
  2. Content block headline briefly describes and present the topic of the block.
  3. Section background is a specific full-bleed image background for the section. It can be customized.
  4. CTA enforces the user to take an action. Users can click to see more about the content presented. It will be a tertiary icon-only button of the right arrow with the motion at hover (no color change, just the movement).
  5. Primary content block is a red tile background. It is visible in both variations.
  6. Secondary content block is a glass effect block background. It is visible only in the two tiles variation.

Usage

When to Use

Use the collaborate section at the end of every content page to make a final call to action and connect with the user.

When Not to Use

Don’t use the collaborate section when the purpose is to present and describe specific content or to promote. Use the card container or flexible module instead.

Do use a tertiary icon only button as a CTA for the content blocks for better legibility and focus on the headline.

Collaborate component with 1 card containing a secondary button

Don’t use a primary or a secondary button as a CTA for the content blocks or a tertiary button with a label.

Collaborate component example with 1 card

Do have only a title in the text block as the section’s title.

Collaborate don't CTA section title

Don’t add a CTA at the title’s block.

Behavior

Clickable Blocks

The content blocks from the collaborate section, have their base structure of the cards. Cards are components that by definition need to have an interaction. In this case, the full-content block should be clickable.

For the 1 card and 2 card component examples this shows the clickable areas for each.

Compact Size

At the small viewport, the collaborate section becomes a single column of stacked cards. The background image is cropped into the secondary card. The background of the section becomes white.
