Cards

A card is a good way to call your site visitors' attention to an action such as registering for an event or downloading a file.

The card content type lets you determine what the text on your card will say, which icon your card will display, what the text on your card's button will say, and the URL to which a user is taken when they click the card's button. This content type is currently only available on select pages on mun.ca. If you would like to use cards on your site, please contact MarComm

Here is an example of two cards:
