Promos
Using Promos - Tips & Guidelines
Promos are website features used to draw attention to specific content. They are usually accompanied by text or quotes and contain a call to action (a hyperlink) to encourage visitors to act. For example, they can be used to promote an upcoming event, highlight a new initiative that requires audience participation, or promote a particular program or area of study. On the OISE homepage, promos are used to promote upcoming events, and the Registrar's Office & Student Experience uses them to highlight specific programs for incoming students. It is important to always include a link in promos to achieve a specific goal, rather than using them solely for design purposes.
To access promos, please select the One Column option, as this feature is limited to one per webpage. When adding a promo, make sure to leave the Row Description field empty and include all text within the promo feature. If the promo component does not have enough text or contains an improperly sized image, it may appear cut off. Images can be slightly smaller than 660x387, but the text must also be shortened accordingly.
Please follow the character limits and image sizes listed in the Drupal website editor to avoid any issues. Text background colour for all promo selections is white.
