In text CTAs

Guidance

The CTA must contain a title (max 40 characters) and possibly a lead sentence (max 140 characters).

When to use

Use the In text CTAs as main calls to actions on a page/within content.

The CTAs can be used inside and outside content areas.

When not to use

Avoid using multiple In Text CTAs on one page as this reduces their impact and be overwhelming for users.

How to use

The content can be passed through the config like in the example below, with a heading level, url, title and optionally a text value:

'ctas': {
  'heading_level': 'h3',
  'items': [
    {
      'url': '/home',
      'title': 'Coronavirus (covid19) update',
      'text': 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do.'
    },
  ]
}

Please note, only a h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 or p tag should be used within the ‘heading_level’ option.

H1 should not be used, if no heading level value is passed the component will default to h2. 

{% for cta in ctas.items %}
  <div class="uol-in-text-cta">
    <{{ ctas.heading_level if ctas.heading_level else 'h2' }} class="uol-in-text-cta__heading">
      <a class="uol-in-text-cta__link" href="{{ cta.url }}">{{ cta.title }}</a>
    </{{ ctas.heading_level if ctas.heading_level else 'h2' }}>
    {% if cta.text %}
      <p class="uol-in-text-cta__text">{{ cta.text }}</p>
    {% endif %}
  </div>
{% endfor %}
