Feature Buttons
Feature Buttons should be used primarily to support the other elements of the Feature Area. Any Feature Set is allotted up to three Feature Buttons. This keeps things relatively clean and open. Maximum button word length should be 6 words. Make sure to review the Buttons page for additional tips on writing button text.
Feature Button Types #
Primary Feature Button #
In Randomized Features, you are allotted one Primary Feature Button per Feature Set. The Primary Feature Button is used to directly support the purpose or story of your Feature Set, and is typically a different color than the standard button. A page with a single Feature Area Set does not have the option to add a Primary Feature Button; they are exclusive to Randomized Features.
Additional Feature Buttons #
In Randomized Features, you are allotted up to two additional Feature Buttons to go with your Primary Feature Button. On a page with a single Feature Set, you are allotted up to three Feature Buttons per Feature Set. These do not necessarily need to directly support the Feature Set, and can be used to point people to other high importance links or areas of your website, such as News and Events.
