Feature Image/Video
What it will look like
When to use
Feature Image/Video is great for telling a story with images and short phrases. Here are some common cases where you might use it:
- You have several key ideas to highlight
- You want to create a more visual page
- You have good photography available
Note: If you have multiple versions of a video (for example in multiple languages), make sure to create a Gateway page for them.
Best practices
This component works best by stacking several together to make a group. You can use up to 7 on your page to highlight key ideas with links to more information.
Do
- Stack several together to make a group. Use up to 7.
- Always start with a Feature Image/Video content type with the image on the right and the text on the left.
- When you have one or more Feature Image/Video content types grouped together, alternate the placement of the images.
- Follow best practices for using images.
Don't
- Don't use large or portrait-oriented images. Stick to landscape-oriented images.
When to consider something else
- Consider using a Scannable Paragraph if you don't have images or video
- Consider using a hero image if you only have one nice image to feature
Note: When you have a video in multiple languages, link to a Gateway page that has all versions of the video.
Accessibility
Remember to use plain language for your writing, especially when you are grouping content together.
Remember to include an alt
