Best Practices

  1. Consistency in Styling: Use similar aspect ratios and alignments across tiles for a clean, cohesive look.
  2. Descriptive Titles: Ensure each tile title is clear and descriptive to help users understand the purpose of each link.
  3. Minimize Content Overload: Limit the number of tiles in one block to avoid overwhelming users. Group tiles logically by theme or purpose.
  4. Responsive Configuration: Verify that the block looks good on all devices by testing the responsive settings.
  5. Enable Animations Sparingly: Use animations where appropriate to draw attention, but avoid overuse, as it may distract users from key information.

Usage Example

For a Visitor Services & Travel Info section, the CTA Group Block can include tiles such as:

  • Visitor Services: A tile linking to visitor resources.
  • Where to Stay: Information on accommodation options.
  • Map: An interactive map for navigation.
